We tested the hypothesis that a protective self-presentation style (Lennox and Wolfe, 1984) is associated with eating pathology and anorexia nervosa (AN) and that this association is mediated by sociocultural attitudes towards appearance emphasizing the thin ideal.
We compared the protective-presentation style of women with AN (N=17), partially recovered women (N=110), fully recovered women (N=73), and female controls (N=374).
Ill women had a more protective self-presentation style than partially or fully recovered women, who in turn had a more protective self-presentation style than controls. Sociocultural attitudes towards appearance fully mediated the association between protective self-presentation and disordered eating.
Protective self-presentation may therefore be a risk factor for AN and/or a prognostic factor. Implications for therapy and prevention are discussed.
我们检验了以下假设,即一种保护性的自我呈现风格(Lennox和Wolfe,1984)与饮食病理学及神经性厌食症(AN)相关,且这种关联由强调瘦为理想状态的社会文化对外表的态度所介导。
我们比较了患有AN的女性(N = 17)、部分康复的女性(N = 110)、完全康复的女性(N = 73)以及女性对照组(N = 374)的保护性呈现风格。
患病女性比部分或完全康复的女性具有更具保护性的自我呈现风格,而部分或完全康复的女性又比对照组具有更具保护性的自我呈现风格。社会文化对外表的态度完全介导了保护性自我呈现与饮食失调之间的关联。
因此,保护性自我呈现可能是AN的一个风险因素和/或一个预后因素。文中讨论了其对治疗和预防的意义。
