Two hundred and thirty-two female college students enrolled at a major university completed the self-administered questionnaire. Analytical results revealed that body dissatisfaction among respondents increased with BMI (β = .32, p < .001), perceptions of how others viewed their bodies (β = .38, p < .001), and upward social comparisons (β = .17, p < .01). Body dissatisfaction also markedly influenced respondent weight-loss intentions (β = .51, p < .001). Results imply that medical, psychological and social factors must be considered by school health educators wishing to understand the causes and consequences of body dissatisfaction among female college students. | 關聯: | Body Image, 6(1), 19-23 | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.bodyim.2008.08.003 |
