The purpose of this study was to test a model of the effects of athletes' eating disorders on coach, sport friend and parent social relationships and peer social acceptance through physical self-perceptions (i.e. perceived physical appearance and perceived physical ability). The sample comprised 199 elite female figure skaters. The data were analysed using structural equation modelling. Our results showed that the effects of athletes' eating disorders on social relationships were not mediated by physical self-perceptions. Athletes' eating disorders directly negatively influenced the quality of the parent-athlete relationship, thus confirming previous findings in young adults. Contrary to the literature, eating disorders were positively related to perceived physical ability. This paradoxical finding is discussed in relation to achievement theories and the particularity of the sport context.
本研究旨在通过身体自我认知（即感知外貌和感知身体能力）来检验运动员饮食失调对教练、体育伙伴和父母社会关系以及同伴社会接纳的影响模型。样本包括 199 名精英花样滑冰女运动员。数据分析采用结构方程模型。结果表明，运动员饮食失调对社会关系的影响不受身体自我认知的调节。运动员的饮食失调直接对亲子关系的质量产生负面影响，从而证实了以前在年轻人中的发现。与文献相反，饮食失调与感知身体能力呈正相关。这一矛盾的发现与成就理论和运动环境的特殊性有关。
