Significant proportions of young people experience body dissatisfaction, which has implications for psychological and physical well-being. Lesson content and perceived competence may be important variables for the experience of body dissatisfaction, yet these have been underexplored in physical education. The aim of this cross-sectional study is to identify the relationships between body dissatisfaction and perceptions of competence, and to explore whether body dissatisfaction depends on lesson content.
A paper-and-pencil questionnaire was completed by 446 (210 boys, 236 girls) 13- to 14-year-old pupils from 37 physical education classes. The questionnaire assessed body dissatisfaction and perceived competence in physical education. Lesson content was also recorded. Twenty-nine of the classes were engaged in team activities, eg, ball games. Eight classes were engaged in individual activities, eg, fitness.
Multilevel analysis identified a significant negative association between body dissatisfaction and perceptions of competence in physical education. Lesson content did not significantly predict variations in body dissatisfaction scores.
Teachers should focus on enhancing pupils' perceptions of competence in physical education to support the development of body satisfaction.
相当比例的年轻人经历着身体不满，这对心理和身体健康都有影响。课程内容和感知能力可能是身体不满体验的重要变量，但在体育教育中，这些因素还未得到充分探索。本横断面研究的目的是确定身体不满与感知能力之间的关系，并探讨身体不满是否取决于课程内容。
446 名（210 名男生，236 名女生）13 至 14 岁的学生从 37 节体育课中完成了一份纸笔问卷。问卷评估了身体不满和体育教育中的感知能力。课程内容也被记录下来。29 个班级参与了团队活动，如球类运动。8 个班级参与了个人活动，如健身。
多层次分析确定了身体不满与体育教育中感知能力之间存在显著的负相关关系。课程内容并不能显著预测身体不满分数的变化。
教师应注重提高学生在体育教育中的感知能力，以支持身体满意度的发展。
