This study explored the relationship between anorexic behavior and selected dimensions of body image. Anorexic behavior was assessed by two scales, the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT 26) (Garner, Olmstead, Bohr, & Garfinkel, 1982) and the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI) (Garner, Olmstead, & Polivy, 1983). Predictor variables, selected dimensions of body image, physical attractiveness, self-esteem, and physical effectiveness, were measured by scales adapted by Lerner and Karabenick (1974) and Lerner, Orlos, and Knapp (1976). Multiple regression techniques were used to determine how much of the tendency toward anorexic behavior can be predicted by selected dimensions of body image. The major focus of the analysis was to explore the contributions of each of the dimensions of body image to predicting tendencies toward anorexic behavior in adolescents. The research sample consisted of 169 high school students, aged 15 to 18, who were enrolled in health, physical education, or psychology classes in the spring of 1983. Results indicated that the dimension of self-esteem was the major factor in the prediction of anorexic behaviors as measured by the Eating Disorders Inventory.
本研究探讨了厌食行为与身体意象特定维度之间的关系。厌食行为通过两个量表进行评估，即饮食态度测试（EAT 26）（加纳、奥姆斯特德、博尔和加芬克尔，1982年）和饮食失调量表（EDI）（加纳、奥姆斯特德和波利维，1983年）。预测变量，即身体意象的特定维度、身体吸引力、自尊和身体效能，通过勒纳和卡拉贝尼克（1974年）以及勒纳、奥尔洛斯和克纳普（1976年）改编的量表进行测量。采用多元回归技术来确定身体意象的特定维度能够在多大程度上预测厌食行为倾向。分析的主要重点是探究身体意象的各个维度对预测青少年厌食行为倾向的贡献。研究样本包括169名年龄在15至18岁之间的高中生，他们于1983年春季参加了健康、体育或心理学课程。结果表明，自尊维度是饮食失调量表所测量的厌食行为预测中的主要因素。
