This study investigated the relationship between stress and body satisfaction in adolescence. A sample consisting of 515 adolescents aged 12-16 years completed a series of self-report questionnaires assessing general and specific aspects of adolescent stress, body satisfaction and the psychological constructs of self-esteem, depressive symptoms and body importance. Results revealed a significant association between higher body dissatisfaction and higher ratings of peer stress, lower self-esteem and greater body importance for female and male adolescents. These findings suggest that adolescent stress relates to satisfaction with the body and that this stress is specifically focused on the peer environment for both genders during adolescence. This may have implications for intervention programmes aimed at improving body satisfaction, suggesting that the inclusion of stress management training in these programmes could specifically focus on difficulties within the peer domain.
本研究调查了青少年时期压力与身体满意度之间的关系。一个由515名12至16岁青少年组成的样本完成了一系列自我报告问卷，这些问卷评估了青少年压力的一般和特定方面、身体满意度以及自尊、抑郁症状和身体重要性等心理结构。结果显示，较高的身体不满与较高的同伴压力评分、较低的自尊以及女性和男性青少年更高的身体重要性之间存在显著关联。这些发现表明，青少年压力与身体满意度相关，并且这种压力在青春期对两性而言都特别集中在同伴环境上。这可能对旨在提高身体满意度的干预计划具有启示意义，表明在这些计划中纳入压力管理培训可以特别关注同伴领域内的困难。
