To investigate the reliability of the video distortion method in obese children and compare their body image with the body perception of non-obese peers.
A standardized series of body size estimations: cognitive (what subjects 'think' they look like), affective (what they 'feel' they look like), and optative (what they 'wish' to look like).
Fourty-one obese children (16 boys and 25 girls, average 12 years old) and 42 age-matched control subjects.
Comparison of percentages of deviation from the accurate body image.
The method was shown to be sufficiently reliable in young subjects. Compared with controls, obese children were more accurate in estimating their real body width, but desired to reduce their body size by about 25%.
The video distortion method can be used as a reliable instrument to assess body perception in obese children.
研究视频变形法在肥胖儿童中的可靠性,并将他们的身体形象与非肥胖同龄人对身体的认知进行比较。
一系列标准化的身体尺寸估计:认知(受试者“认为”自己看起来的样子)、情感(他们“感觉”自己看起来的样子)和期望(他们“希望”看起来的样子)。
41名肥胖儿童(16名男孩和25名女孩,平均年龄12岁)和42名年龄匹配的对照受试者。
比较与准确身体形象的偏差百分比。
该方法在年轻受试者中显示出足够的可靠性。与对照组相比,肥胖儿童在估计自己实际身体宽度方面更准确,但希望将身体尺寸减小约25%。
视频变形法可作为评估肥胖儿童身体认知的可靠工具。
