Adolescents (N=1281; M age = 15.2 years, SD = 0.51 years) from a state-wide sample of schools provided information about their psychological well-being, family functioning, extraversion, and perceived physical attractiveness and weight, using a questionnaire completed at school. Consistent with previous research, girls were significantly more likely than boys to be dissatisfied with their weight and physical appearance, and these factors explained significantly more variation in self-esteem than in life satisfaction or other measures of psychological well-being. The strong relationship between body dissatisfaction and self-esteem for adolescent girls was not moderated by school type (single sex or educational). However, girls who were dissatisfied but psychologically well adjusted tended to be more extraverted, have more close friends and receive greater family support.
来自全州学校样本的青少年（N = 1281；平均年龄 = 15.2岁，标准差 = 0.51岁）通过在学校填写的问卷，提供了有关他们心理健康、家庭功能、外向性以及感知到的身体吸引力和体重的信息。与先前的研究一致，女孩比男孩更有可能对自己的体重和外貌不满意，并且这些因素在自尊方面解释的变异比在生活满意度或其他心理健康指标方面显著更多。青少年女孩身体不满意与自尊之间的强烈关系不受学校类型（单性别或教育类型）的调节。然而，那些不满意但心理调适良好的女孩往往更外向，有更多亲密朋友并获得更多家庭支持。
