This study examined whether the association between adolescent weight status and body image varies by social engagement. A nationally representative sample of 6909 students in grades 6-10 completed the 2006 HBSC survey. Separate linear regressions for boys and girls, controlling for age, race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status, were conducted with an interaction term (weight status×social engagement). Adolescents' overweight/obese status was related to body dissatisfaction. Social engagement moderated the relationship between weight status and body image for girls but not for boys. Overweight/obese boys had more body dissatisfaction compared to their normal/underweight peers, regardless of their social engagement. However, overweight/obese girls with more social engagement were more likely to have body satisfaction compared to overweight/obese girls with less social engagement. Encouraging adolescent girls to develop healthy relationships with peers may prevent them from developing body dissatisfaction.
这项研究考察了青少年体重状况与身体意象之间的关联是否因社会参与度的不同而有所差异。对 6 至 10 年级的 6909 名学生进行了一项全国代表性的调查。对男孩和女孩分别进行了线性回归,控制了年龄、种族/族裔和社会经济地位,并加入了一个交互项(体重状况×社会参与度)。青少年超重/肥胖的状况与身体不满有关。社会参与度调节了体重状况与女孩身体意象之间的关系,但对男孩没有影响。与正常/体重不足的同龄人相比,超重/肥胖的男孩更容易感到不满,无论他们的社会参与度如何。然而,与社会参与度较低的超重/肥胖女孩相比,社会参与度较高的超重/肥胖女孩更有可能对自己的身体感到满意。鼓励少女与同龄人建立健康的关系,可能有助于预防她们产生身体不满。
