节食是青春期女孩的常见做法。最近的研究表明，青少年节食可能不是良性的，而且在年轻群体中节食变得越来越频繁。本研究调查了两个年龄组的节食动机以及对体重和体形的潜在态度。来自同一学校的 84 名 9 岁女孩和 86 名 14 岁女孩完成了饮食限制、身体自尊、身体满意度和身材偏好的评估。还测量了女孩的体重和身高。克制分数的分布揭示了两个年龄段的个体在每个类别的节食动机中的情况。识别出约束分布上四分位数和下四分位数的受试者，并在其他指标上进行比较。高度内敛的女孩对自己的身体表现出低自尊，并对自己的体型、体重和身体的某些部位表示不满。此外，他们的“理想”体型明显比他们认为的当前体型要苗条，甚至比非节食者还要苗条。这种模式适用于 9 岁和 14 岁的孩子，其中每个年龄组中有一半人的体重指数处于同龄平均水平或以下。这些性格和行为在九岁时或更早出现，可能会导致未来临床饮食问题和失调的显着增加。
Dieting is a common practice among adolescent girls. Recent research suggests that adolescent dieting may not be benign and that it is becoming more frequent in younger age groups. The present study investigated dieting motivation and the underlying attitudes to body weight and shape in two age groups. Eighty-four nine-year-old and 86 14-year-old girls from the same school completed assessments of dietary restraint, body esteem, body satisfaction and body figure preferences. The girls' body weight and height were also measured. The distribution of restraint scores revealed individuals from both age groups in every category of dieting motivation. Subjects in the upper and lower quartiles of the restraint distribution were identified and compared on the other measures. The highly restrained girls expressed low body esteem and discontent with their body build, weight and certain regions of their bodies. Furthermore, their 'ideal' body shape was significantly slimmer than their perceived current body shape, and slimmer even than that of the non-dieters. This pattern held for both the nine- and 14-year-olds, of whom half of each age group were of average or below average weight index for their age. The appearance of these dispositions and behaviours by the age of nine, or possibly earlier, may result in a marked increase in future clinical eating problems and disorders.
