The objective of this study is to evaluate the Respect YOU program's impact on students' eating expectancies, body image satisfaction levels, self-efficacy, and knowledge. A total of 444 (intervention cohort n = 348, control cohort n = 96) underclassmen enrolled in health or physical education courses from 7 high schools in the Midwest participated in the study.
A repeated measure research design was utilized to assess students' eating expectancies, body image satisfaction levels, self-efficacy, and knowledge. More specifically, paired t-tests were conducted to compare outcome measurements to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention.
Among the students who received the intervention (n = 348), there was a statistically significant change in scores for eating expectancies (Z = -14.403, p < .001), body image satisfaction levels (Z = -14.114, p < .001), social media self-efficacy (Z = 14.868, p < .001), and knowledge scales (Z = -16.100, p < .001) at post-intervention and compared to the control group.
Results indicate that the Respect YOU program was effective in improving body image scores, eating expectancies, self-esteem, and knowledge-related outcomes among students post-intervention. These results can be used to further develop educational programming to address body image concerns and disordered eating among adolescents.
本研究旨在评估 Respect YOU 项目对学生饮食期望、身体形象满意度、自我效能感和知识的影响。共有 7 所中西部高中的 444 名(干预组 n=348,对照组 n=96)低年级学生参加了健康或体育课程。
采用重复测量研究设计来评估学生的饮食期望、身体形象满意度、自我效能感和知识。具体来说,进行配对 t 检验来比较结果测量以评估干预的效果。
在接受干预的学生中(n=348),饮食期望(Z=-14.403,p<.001)、身体形象满意度(Z=-14.114,p<.001)、社交媒体自我效能感(Z=14.868,p<.001)和知识量表(Z=-16.100,p<.001)的得分在干预后发生了统计学显著变化,并且与对照组相比也有所改善。
结果表明,Respect YOU 项目在改善学生的身体形象评分、饮食期望、自尊和知识相关结果方面是有效的。这些结果可用于进一步开发教育计划,以解决青少年的身体形象问题和饮食失调问题。
