OBJECTIVE
Numerous studies have used figure ratings to demonstrate substantially greater body dissatisfaction among women than men. The present study aimed to investigate gender differences in body dissatisfaction in younger children.
METHOD
A children's version of the Figure Rating Scale was administered to 140 children between the ages of 7 and 12 years. Children also completed measures of self-esteem and negative stereotyping of fat people.
RESULTS
Irrespective of age, girls rated their ideal figure as smaller than the one they considered most attractive to boys, and as substantially smaller than their current figure. For boys, there was no difference in ratings. Level of body dissatisfaction correlated negatively with self-esteem and positively with negative stereotyping for boys, but not for girls.
DISCUSSION
The results are consistent with body dissatisfaction being "a normative discontent" for young girls as well as for adult women.
目的
众多研究使用体型评定量表来证明女性比男性对自己的身体更不满意。本研究旨在调查年幼儿童身体不满意方面的性别差异。
方法
对140名7至12岁的儿童施行了儿童版体型评定量表。孩子们还完成了自尊和对胖人的负面刻板印象的测量。
结果
无论年龄大小，女孩评定她们的理想体型比她们认为对男孩最有吸引力的体型小，并且比她们目前的体型小得多。对于男孩来说，评定结果没有差异。身体不满意程度与男孩的自尊呈负相关，与负面刻板印象呈正相关，但与女孩无关。
讨论
研究结果与身体不满意是年轻女孩以及成年女性的“一种正常不满”这一观点一致。
