Compulsive exercise has been closely linked with eating disorders, and has been widely reported in both clinical and nonclinical settings. It has been shown to have a negative impact on eating disorder treatment and outcome. However, the risk factors for compulsive exercise have not been examined. This study aimed to provide a first step in identifying potential cross-sectional predictors of compulsive exercise.
The sample consisted of 1,488 male and female adolescents, aged 12-14 years old, recruited from schools in the United Kingdom. Participants completed measures of compulsive exercise, personality, psychological morbidity, and disordered eating attitudes during a school class period.
Multiple stepwise regressions showed that the strongest cross-sectional predictors of compulsive exercise were a drive for thinness, perfectionism, and obsessive-compulsiveness.
These results are discussed in terms of the role that personal factors may play in the development of compulsive exercise.
强迫性运动与饮食失调密切相关,在临床和非临床环境中都有广泛报道。它已被证明对饮食失调的治疗和结果有负面影响。然而,强迫性运动的危险因素尚未得到检查。本研究旨在为确定强迫性运动的潜在横断面预测因素迈出第一步。
该样本包括 1488 名年龄在 12 至 14 岁的男性和女性青少年,从英国的学校招募。参与者在学校课堂期间完成了强迫性运动、人格、心理病态和饮食失调态度的测量。
多元逐步回归显示,强迫性运动的最强横断面预测因素是瘦身、完美主义和强迫性。
这些结果从个人因素在强迫性运动发展中可能发挥的作用方面进行了讨论。
