本研究的目的是检查人口统计学变量（如性别、年龄和种族）之间可能存在的差异，这些差异与社会和媒体信息的内化有关，这些信息导致身体不满，可能导致饮食行为紊乱，如对体重的关注、节食和饮食限制。共有324名参与者完成了人口统计学问卷，多维身体自我关系问卷，社会文化态度对外观问卷的妇女，社会文化态度对外观的修订男性版本，和Rotter的内部-外部（I-E）控制点量表。这项研究的结果发现，正如预测的那样，高加索人比非洲裔美国人报告了更高的内化，更高的身体不满意度，以及更高的体重，节食和饮食控制。这项研究表明，男性和女性的内在化或身体不满没有差异，但确实显示，女性报告更关注体重，节食，饮食控制比男性。关于年龄，这项研究发现，年龄并不能预测内化，身体不满，或对体重，节食和饮食限制的关注。
The purpose of this study was to examine any differences that may exist among demographic variables such as gender, age, and race in regard to internalization of society and media messages leading to body dissatisfaction that may lead to disordered eating behaviors such as preoccupation with weight, dieting, and eating restraint. A total of 324 participants completed the demographic questionnaire, the Multidimensional Body Self Relations Questionnaire, the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire for women, the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-Revised-Male-Version for men, and Rotter's Internal-External (I-E) Locus of Control Scale. The results of this study found, as predicted, that Caucasians reported higher internalization, higher body dissatisfaction, and higher preoccupation with weight, dieting, and eating restraint than African Americans. This study showed no differences regarding men's and women's internalization or body dissatisfaction but did reveal that women reported higher preoccupation with weight, dieting, and eating restraint than men. Regarding age, this study found that age did not predict internalization, body dissatisfaction, or preoccupation with weight, dieting, and eating restraint.
