This investigation assessed the hypothesis that early adolescent girls with more negative weight-related body images would report higher levels of depressive symptoms. The Beck Depression Inventory was administered, and measures of objective weight and four dimensions of weight-related body image were obtained: self-reported weight, subjective classification of weight from very underweight to very overweight, satisfaction with weight, and concerns about weight. The results indicated that the more subjective and personal measures of weight-related body image discontent--weight dissatisfaction and weight concerns--were associated with increased depressive symptoms, even controlling for objective weight status. These results are discussed in relation to the ontogenesis of body image and the place of body image in personality and the development of depression.
体重相关身体意象更为消极的青春期早期女孩会报告更高水平的抑郁症状。研究者施测了贝克抑郁量表，并获取了客观体重以及体重相关身体意象四个维度的测量数据：自我报告体重、从极瘦到极胖的体重主观分类、对体重的满意度以及对体重的担忧。结果表明，体重相关身体意象不满的更主观且个人化的测量指标——体重不满意和体重担忧——与抑郁症状增加相关，即便在控制了客观体重状况之后亦是如此。本文将结合身体意象的发生发展、身体意象在人格中的地位以及抑郁的发展来讨论这些结果。
