Implicit self-esteem and its link to body shape and weight concerns were examined among restrained (n=32) and unrestrained eaters (n=39). Implicit self-esteem was assessed in an Implicit Association Test before and after increasing the participants' awareness of their own body shape and weight. The results showed a differential direction of change of implicit self-esteem in both groups: Whereas implicit self-esteem increased for unrestrained eaters, it decreased descriptively for restrained eaters. This suggests that restrained eating status and/or initial level of body dissatisfaction might determine whether implicit self-esteem decreases or increases as a result of an activation of body schema.
本研究考察了约束型（n=32）和非约束型（n=39）进食者的内隐自尊及其与身体形状和体重担忧的关系。在增加参与者对自身身体形状和体重的意识前后，使用内隐联想测验评估了内隐自尊。结果表明，两组的内隐自尊都发生了不同方向的变化：非约束型进食者的内隐自尊增加，而约束型进食者的内隐自尊则有所下降。这表明，约束性进食状态和/或初始身体不满水平可能决定了身体图式激活后内隐自尊是增加还是减少。
