The 'Distressed' or Type-D personality is described by the interaction between high levels of negative affectivity and social inhibition. This study investigated the prevalence of Type-D personality in men of different exercise status, the association between Type-D and body image perceptions, and the moderating effect of exercise status. Participants were 564 British males aged between 18 and 55 years. Of these 200 were classified as sedentary, 148 as active and 216 as weight trainers. Participants completed the DS14 and Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire. Results showed that more individuals were classified as Type-D in the sedentary group (45%) than the two active groups, and in the weight training (24.5%) than the active (14.2%) group. Both Type-D and a sedentary lifestyle were associated with a significantly poorer body image. However, exercise mode was not associated with body image differences. Sedentary Type-D men scored significantly lower in Body Areas Satisfaction and higher in Self-Classified Weight than both active groups. Regular exercise might provide a pathway for Type-D men to develop a more positive body image.
“苦恼型”或 D 型人格的特点是消极情感和社交抑制程度都很高。本研究旨在调查不同运动状态男性中 D 型人格的流行程度、D 型人格与身体意象感知之间的关系，以及运动状态的调节作用。参与者为 564 名年龄在 18 至 55 岁之间的英国男性。其中 200 名被归类为久坐不动，148 名被归类为活跃，216 名被归类为举重运动员。参与者完成了 DS14 和多维身体自我关系问卷。结果表明，与两个活跃组相比，久坐不动组（45%）和举重组（24.5%）中更多的人被归类为 D 型。D 型和久坐不动的生活方式都与较差的身体意象显著相关。然而，运动模式与身体意象差异无关。与活跃组相比，久坐不动的 D 型男性在身体区域满意度方面得分显著较低，而在自我分类体重方面得分显著较高。定期运动可能为 D 型男性提供一条途径，以形成更积极的身体意象。
