Perceptions of the body are not restricted to the way the body "looks"; they may also extend to the way the body "functions". This research explores body image among male and female adolescents using the Embodied Image Scale (EIS), which incorporates body function into body image. Adolescents (N=1526, male=673, female=853) aged 12-17 (M=13.83, SD=1.02), from 26 Western Australian high schools were surveyed. Information was gathered on pubertal timing, body mass index (BMI) and body image. Participants reported significantly higher value of, behavioral-investment in, and satisfaction with the functional dimension of the body compared to the aesthetic dimension. After controlling for age, pubertal timing, and BMI, females reported significantly higher aesthetic values and aesthetic behavioral-investment, and lower aesthetic satisfaction, functional values, functional behavioral-investment and functional satisfaction than male participants. Grade, pubertal timing and BMI category differences were also explored.
对身体的认知不仅局限于身体的“外观”，还可能延伸到身体的“功能”。本研究使用包含身体功能的身体意象量表（EIS）来探索男女青少年的身体意象。该研究对来自西澳大利亚 26 所高中的 12-17 岁（M=13.83，SD=1.02）的 1526 名青少年（男性 673 名，女性 853 名）进行了调查。调查内容包括青春期发育时间、体重指数（BMI）和身体意象。与审美维度相比，参与者报告了对身体功能维度的更高价值、行为投入和满意度。在控制年龄、青春期发育时间和 BMI 后，女性报告的审美价值、审美行为投入更高，审美满意度、功能价值、功能行为投入和功能满意度更低。此外，还探讨了年级、青春期发育时间和 BMI 类别差异。
