This study was designed to examine the role women's husbands may play in determining their body satisfaction. One hundred and seventy-two (172; mean age = 37.53 years) European American women's body satisfaction, their perceptions of their husbands' satisfaction with their bodies, and their husbands' actual satisfaction with their bodies were assessed using the Body Figure Rating Scale; women's weight status was assessed using body mass index (BMI). Results indicated that wives were much more dissatisfied with their bodies than were their husbands and that wives thought their husbands were much more dissatisfied with their bodies than the husbands actually were. Further, findings suggested that wives' BMIs were not as strongly related to husband's satisfaction with their wives' bodies as they were to wives' own satisfaction or perceptions of their husbands' satisfaction with their bodies.
本研究旨在探讨女性的丈夫在决定她们对自身身体满意度方面可能发挥的作用。使用身体形象评定量表对172名（平均年龄 = 37.53岁）欧美女性的身体满意度、她们对丈夫对自己身体满意度的认知以及丈夫对她们身体的实际满意度进行了评估；使用体重指数（BMI）评估女性的体重状况。结果表明，妻子对自己身体的不满程度远高于丈夫，并且妻子认为丈夫对自己身体的不满程度也远高于丈夫实际的不满程度。此外，研究结果表明，妻子的BMI与丈夫对其身体的满意度之间的关联，不如与妻子自身的满意度或她们对丈夫对自己身体满意度的认知之间的关联那么紧密。
