Given the link between negative body image and depression symptoms, body image may affect the association between ADHD and depression symptoms. We evaluated the degree to which a variety of body image constructs mediated the association between ADHD and depression symptoms.
Participants were undergraduate psychology students ( N = 627, age: M = 20.23, SD = 1.40, 60% female, 47% European American) who completed an online assessment.
Results indicated that ADHD symptoms were indirectly associated with increased depression symptoms, and that negative evaluation of physical appearance, overweight preoccupation, and body dissatisfaction mediated the association between ADHD and depression symptoms. ADHD symptoms were also directly associated with increased depression symptoms.
Body image appears to play a role in the association between ADHD and depression symptoms for college students. Implications for future research and clinical practice are discussed.
鉴于负面身体意象与抑郁症状之间存在关联，身体意象可能会影响 ADHD 与抑郁症状之间的关联。我们评估了多种身体意象结构在多大程度上对 ADHD 与抑郁症状之间的关联起到了中介作用。
参与者为本科心理学专业学生（N=627，年龄：M=20.23，SD=1.40，60%为女性，47%为欧洲裔美国人），他们完成了一项在线评估。
结果表明，ADHD 症状与抑郁症状的增加呈间接相关，对身体外貌的负面评价、超重关注和身体不满会中介 ADHD 与抑郁症状之间的关联。ADHD 症状也与抑郁症状的增加呈直接相关。
身体意象似乎在大学生 ADHD 与抑郁症状之间的关联中发挥作用。讨论了对未来研究和临床实践的影响。
