Dancers are at high risk of developing disordered eating attitudes, notably because of internalized thinness norms. Although the big five personality traits have been shown to be associated with eating attitudes in daily life, in dancers where eating issues and thinness norms internalization could be salient little is known about these associations and the role of the internalization of thinness norms in this relationship. The main objectives of this study were thus to examine the relationships between the personality traits defined in the big five model and the self-regulation of eating attitudes, and to assess the role of internalized thinness norms in this association. The study included 180 intensively training dancers with an average age of 15.6 years (SD = 2.8). Dancers completed questionnaires measuring the big five personality traits, internalization of thinness norms and self-regulation of eating attitudes in sport. Bootstrapped mediation analyses showed that neuroticism was negatively associated with self-regulation of eating attitudes, both directly and indirectly through the mediating role of internalized thinness norms. This study suggested that: (a) neuroticism is a vulnerability factor for self-regulation of eating attitudes in dancers, as already evidenced in the general population, and (b) the internalization of thinness norms is a pathway through which neuroticism affects self-regulation of eating attitudes. The big five model is therefore partially related to the internalization of thinness norms and eating attitudes in dancers. Key pointsThe big five model relates to the internalization of thinness norms and eating attitudes in dancers.Neuroticism is negatively related to the self-regulation of eating attitudes.The internalization of thinness norms is correlated to the relationship between neuroticism and self-regulation of eating attitudes.
舞者极易形成饮食失调态度，尤其是因为内化的瘦观念。尽管大五人格特质已被证明与日常生活中的饮食态度相关，但在饮食问题和瘦观念内化可能很突出的舞者中，对于这些关联以及瘦观念内化在此关系中的作用却知之甚少。因此，本研究的主要目的是检验大五模型中定义的人格特质与饮食态度自我调节之间的关系，并评估瘦观念内化在此关联中的作用。该研究纳入了180名接受强化训练的舞者，平均年龄为15.6岁（标准差 = 2.8）。舞者们完成了测量大五人格特质、瘦观念内化以及运动中饮食态度自我调节的问卷。自抽样中介分析表明，神经质与饮食态度自我调节呈负相关，这一关联既直接存在，也通过内化瘦观念的中介作用间接存在。本研究表明：（a）神经质是舞者饮食态度自我调节的一个脆弱因素，这在普通人群中也已得到证实；（b）瘦观念内化是神经质影响饮食态度自我调节的一条途径。因此，大五模型与舞者瘦观念内化和饮食态度部分相关。要点大五模型与舞者瘦观念内化和饮食态度相关。神经质与饮食态度自我调节呈负相关。瘦观念内化与神经质和饮食态度自我调节之间的关系相关。
