CONTEXT
The body image research literature has addressed how young people perceive their self-image thoroughly. Seldom however were youths asked to draw their current vs. ideal selves, neither has this been explored in comparison to weight differences.
METHOD
Ninety participants aged 6-17 (mean 11.73±, SD = 2.84) drew how they perceive themselves ("Me") and how they might want to look like of they could change their appearance ("Preferred Me"). Participants completed a body figure scale test, and were measured to obtain their BMI percentile.
RESULTS
180 drawings were analyzed. Results revealed a relation between drawing sizes of height, waist, width and weight status. Characters' emotions and weight were also associated.
CONCLUSION
Drawings are a youth friendly tool to gain non-invasive insight into youths' body image perception and can help capture perceptions attached to body image and weight. The results matter for medical, educational, and psychological professionals working on creating programs and tools to treat or assess youths' physical and mental challenges related to body image.
背景
身体形象研究文献已经深入探讨了年轻人如何看待自己的自我形象。然而，很少有研究要求青少年画出他们当前的自我与理想中的自我，与体重差异相关的情况也未得到探索。
方法
90名年龄在6至17岁（平均11.73±，标准差=2.84）的参与者画出了他们对自己的看法（“我”）以及如果可以改变外貌，他们希望自己看起来是什么样（“理想中的我”）。参与者完成了身体体型量表测试，并测量了他们的BMI百分位数。
结果
对180幅画作进行了分析。结果显示，身高、腰围、宽度的绘画尺寸与体重状况之间存在关联。人物的情绪和体重也有关联。
结论
绘画是一种对青少年友好的工具，可以在不进行侵入性操作的情况下深入了解青少年的身体形象认知，并有助于捕捉与身体形象和体重相关的认知。这些结果对于致力于创建治疗或评估青少年与身体形象相关的身心挑战的项目和工具的医学、教育和心理专业人员具有重要意义。
