Body satisfaction was examined in four age groups of female British adolescents. Overall satisfaction with nine body features declined from age 12 to 18 years, particularly upper thigh, buttocks and stomach measurements. Although a shape ratio (weight divided by height) determined various aspects of body satisfaction in older girls, self-perceived weight (underweight, OK, overweight) related more directly to body satisfaction. The results suggest that body satisfaction declines during adolescence and is linked to psychological self-esteem and excessive dieting.
对英国女性青少年的四个年龄组进行了身体满意度调查。对九项身体特征的总体满意度从12岁到18岁呈下降趋势,尤其是大腿上部、臀部和腹部的尺寸。虽然体型比(体重除以身高)决定了年龄较大女孩身体满意度的各个方面,但自我感知的体重(体重过轻、正常、超重)与身体满意度的关系更为直接。结果表明,青春期身体满意度下降,且与心理自尊和过度节食有关。
