We predicted that the perceived likelihood of acquiring a hoped-for thin self would mediate perfectionistic strivings on dietary restraint, and that the perceived likelihood of acquiring a feared fat self would mediate perfectionistic concerns on dietary restraint. We also predicted that the mediation pathway from perfectionistic concerns to dietary restraint would have a greater impact than that from perfectionistic strivings. Participants were 222 female college students who reported their height and weight and completed measures of perfectionism, the likelihood of acquiring the feared fat and hoped-for thin selves, and dietary restraint. Statistical analyses revealed that the perceived likelihood of acquiring the feared fat self mediated both perfectionistic concerns and perfectionistic strivings on dietary restraint, and that the mediating pathway from perfectionistic concerns to dietary restraint was greater than that from perfectionistic strivings. Implications for future research and eating pathology interventions are discussed.
我们预测，对获得理想苗条自我的感知可能性会在节食抑制上调节完美主义努力，而对获得恐惧肥胖自我的感知可能性会在节食抑制上调节完美主义担忧。我们还预测，从完美主义担忧到节食抑制的中介途径的影响将大于从完美主义努力到节食抑制的中介途径。参与者为 222 名女大学生，她们报告了自己的身高和体重，并完成了完美主义、获得恐惧肥胖和希望苗条自我的可能性以及节食抑制的测量。统计分析表明，对获得恐惧肥胖自我的感知可能性调节了节食抑制上的完美主义担忧和完美主义努力，而从完美主义担忧到节食抑制的中介途径大于从完美主义努力到节食抑制的中介途径。讨论了对未来研究和饮食病理学干预的意义。
