The association between changes in body mass index over 1 year and measures of psychological functioning was evaluated in 314 boys and 253 girls with a mean age of 9 years. Anthropometric evaluations and standardized surveys were administered to students in all four-grade classes of seven suburban schools in the fall of two consecutive school years. Increases in body mass index were significantly associated with unfavorable changes in physical activity attitudes, activity preferences, perceived physical activity competence, self-concept, and body image. There was limited support for a hypothesis that overweight children are more sensitive to changes in body shape than non-overweight children. The finding of negative psychological consequences associated with increases in body mass index among children suggests that children may be overconcerned with body weight and shape.
对314名男孩和253名平均年龄为9岁的女孩进行了评估，以研究一年内体重指数变化与心理功能指标之间的关联。在连续两个学年的秋季，对七所郊区学校所有四年级班级的学生进行了人体测量评估和标准化调查。体重指数的增加与体育活动态度、活动偏好、感知到的体育活动能力、自我概念和身体形象的不利变化显著相关。对于超重儿童比非超重儿童对体型变化更敏感这一假设，支持有限。儿童体重指数增加会带来负面心理后果这一发现表明，儿童可能过度关注体重和体型。
