The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and correlates of exercising in response to negative affect.
Participants (N = 177) completed questionnaires assessing affect before and after exercise, exercise quality and quantity, eating behaviors and attitudes, body image, and self-esteem.
Fifty-eight percent of participants endorsed ever exercising in response to negative affect. As a group, these individuals were more likely to report self-induced vomiting, binge eating, and fasting over the previous 4 weeks. They also showed poorer body image and self-esteem, and their exercise was more obligatory and impairing. Groups did not differ on body mass index or quantity of exercise.
Negative affect motivated exercise appears to be a common phenomenon that is associated with eating disordered behavior.
本研究旨在确定因负面情绪而运动的发生率和相关因素。
参与者(N=177)完成了评估运动前后情绪、运动质量和数量、饮食行为和态度、身体形象和自尊的问卷。
58%的参与者表示曾因负面情绪而运动。作为一个群体,这些人更有可能在过去 4 周内报告自我诱导呕吐、暴食和禁食。他们的身体形象和自尊也较差,运动更具强制性和损伤性。两组在体重指数或运动数量上没有差异。
因负面情绪而运动似乎是一种常见现象,与饮食障碍行为有关。
