Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Eating disorders (EDs) have become a global public health concern among adolescents and young adults. However, Chinese university students exhibit a high prevalence of eating disorders. This study aims to investigate the effects of self-esteem (SE) and body shape (BS) on ED behaviors among Chinese university students.
METHODS: Using random sampling, 946 Chinese university students (aged 18 to 24, M = 19.94, SD = 1.04) participated in a survey comprising the Sick, Control, One, Fat, and Food Questionnaire (SCOFF-Q), the Body Shape Questionnaire (BS-Q), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RS-S) to assess their eating disorder or non-eating disorder (NED) behavior.
RESULTS: There was a significant positive correlation between body shape and eating disorder behaviors (r = 0.19, p < 0.01), while there was a significant negative correlation between self-esteem and eating disorder behaviors (r = -0.14, p = 0.001 < 0.01). Gender was a moderating factor in the relationship between body shape and eating disorder behaviors (t = 3.14, p = 0.002 < 0.01), while parents\' marital status was a moderating factor in the relationship between self-esteem and eating disorder behavior (t = 2.72, p = 0.007 < 0.01). Body shape (z = 6.47, p = 0.001 < 0.01), self-esteem (z = -2.81, p = 0.005 < 0.05), and gender (z = 3.06, p = 0.002 < 0.01) significantly influenced eating disorder behavior among Chinese university students aged 18-24 years.
CONCLUSIONS: There was a direct effect between body shape and self-esteem and eating disorder behaviors among Chinese university students aged 18-24 years. Alarmingly, female university students are becoming susceptible to external influences on self-esteem and body shape, leading to eating disorder behaviors at an increasingly younger age in China.
摘要:
背景:饮食失调(ED)已成为青少年和年轻人关注的全球公共卫生问题。然而,中国大学生的饮食失调患病率很高。本研究旨在探讨自尊(SE)和身体形态(BS)对中国大学生ED行为的影响。
方法:使用随机抽样,946名中国大学学生(年龄在18至24岁,M=19.94,SD=1.04)参加了一项包含Sick,Control,一,胖,和食品问卷(SCOFF-Q),身体形态问卷(BS-Q),和Rosenberg自尊量表(RS-S)评估他们的饮食失调或非饮食失调(NED)行为。
结果:身体形态与进食障碍行为呈显著正相关(r=0.19,p<0.01),自尊与进食障碍行为呈显著负相关(r=-0.14,p=0.001<0.01)。性别是身体形态与饮食失调行为关系的调节因素(t=3.14,p=0.002<0.01),而父母的婚姻状况是自尊与饮食失调行为之间关系的调节因素(t=2.72,p=0.007<0.01)。体形(z=6.47,p=0.001<0.01),自尊(z=-2.81,p=0.005<0.05),性别(z=3.06,p=0.002<0.01)对18-24岁中国大学生的饮食失调行为有显着影响。
结论:在18-24岁的中国大学生中,身体形态与自尊和饮食障碍行为之间存在直接影响。令人震惊的是,女大学生越来越容易受到自尊和身体形态的外部影响,导致在中国越来越年轻的饮食失调行为。
