Global self-esteem, appearance satisfaction, and self-reported dieting are interrelated. In the current study, we examine the temporal ordering of global self-esteem and appearance satisfaction across the early adolescence transition, from age 10 to age 14, as well as the independent associations of self-esteem and appearance satisfaction on self-reported dieting at age 14. Participants were 130 firstborn European American adolescents (40% girls). Adolescents who were less satisfied with their appearance at age 10 reported declines in self-esteem from age 10 to age 14. Adolescents with lower global self-esteem at age 10 did not decline in appearance satisfaction. Girls, adolescents with higher BMI scores at age 10, and adolescents who were less satisfied with their appearance at age 14 all reported more frequent dieting at age 14. Implications for etiological and intervention models of eating problems in adolescence are considered.
总体自尊、外表满意度和自我报告的节食行为相互关联。在本研究中，我们考察了10至14岁青春期早期过渡阶段总体自尊和外表满意度的时间顺序，以及自尊和外表满意度对14岁时自我报告节食行为的独立关联。研究对象为130名头胎出生的欧美青少年（40%为女孩）。10岁时对外表不太满意的青少年报告称，从10岁到14岁自尊水平有所下降。10岁时总体自尊水平较低的青少年外表满意度并未下降。女孩、10岁时BMI分数较高的青少年以及14岁时对外表不太满意的青少年均报告称，14岁时节食更为频繁。文中还考虑了对青少年饮食问题病因和干预模型的启示。
