The present study tested a hypothesized mediation model in which the seven contingencies of self-worth proposed by Crocker and Wolfe mediate the association between global self-esteem and eating disturbances in college women.
This study utilized a sample of 408 college women. Path analysis was used to produce a model in which the association between global self-esteem and eating disturbances was accounted for through contingencies of self-worth.
The finalized model indicated that self-worth based on appearance and competition mediated the link between global self-esteem and both drive for thinness and bulimic symptoms. Self-worth based on virtue mediated the link between global self-esteem and bulimic symptoms.
The present findings clarify facets of self-worth accounting for the association between global self-esteem and eating disturbances in college women, and point to how self-worth based on one's appearance, or the ability to outdo others, is centrally implicated in this relationship.
本研究检验了一个假设的中介模型,该模型假设克罗克和沃尔夫提出的七种自我价值条件可以中介整体自尊和大学生女性饮食障碍之间的关联。
本研究使用了 408 名女大学生的样本。路径分析用于产生一个模型,其中整体自尊和饮食障碍之间的关联是通过自我价值条件来解释的。
最终的模型表明,基于外貌和竞争的自我价值感中介了整体自尊与消瘦和暴食症状之间的联系。基于美德的自我价值感中介了整体自尊与暴食症状之间的联系。
本研究结果阐明了自我价值感的各个方面,这些方面解释了大学生女性整体自尊和饮食障碍之间的关联,并指出了基于外表或超越他人的能力的自我价值感如何在这种关系中起着核心作用。
