The present study investigated the body images of Omani and German physical education students. 199 students completed a body image test, a dispositional mindfulness and a self-compassion measurement, as well as a short physical activity questionnaire. Overall, our results demonstrate that females showed a higher body distortion than males and students in Germany displayed a higher body distortion effect. Concerning mindfulness and self-compassion, students from Oman showed higher values than German students in self-compassion, but not in the dispositional mindfulness measurement. However, self-compassion and mindfulness were not related to the body distortion effect. This is the first study that provides unique data of self-compassion and mindfulness in an Arabic sample, and shows that self-compassion is higher in Omani students.
本研究调查了阿曼和德国体育专业学生的身体意象。199名学生完成了一项身体意象测试、一项特质正念和自我同情测量，以及一份简短的体育活动问卷。总体而言，我们的结果表明，女性比男性表现出更高的身体变形，德国的学生表现出更高的身体变形效应。在正念和自我同情方面，阿曼学生在自我同情方面的得分高于德国学生，但在特质正念测量中并非如此。然而，自我同情和正念与身体变形效应无关。这是第一项在阿拉伯样本中提供自我同情和正念独特数据的研究，并表明阿曼学生的自我同情水平更高。
