Results from recent studies on body image have revealed differences between college-age individuals and older samples. In this study, adults 17 to 40 years old were evaluated for their body dissatisfaction on the Figure Rating Scale. Females had higher levels of body dissatisfaction than males and these differences did not diminish with age. However, consistent with physical changes in adulthood, current and ideal ratings became more discrepant with age. Interestingly, for women, affective and cognitive dimensions of body dissatisfaction became more consistent. Research on early adulthood personality development is used to help explain these results.
近期关于身体意象的研究结果揭示了大学年龄段个体与年长样本之间的差异。在本研究中，对17至40岁的成年人进行了身体不满意程度的形象评定量表评估。女性的身体不满意程度高于男性，且这些差异不会随着年龄增长而减小。然而，与成年期的身体变化一致，当前和理想评定随着年龄增长差异变得更大。有趣的是，对于女性而言，身体不满意的情感和认知维度变得更加一致。关于成年早期人格发展的研究被用来帮助解释这些结果。
