目的：研究三个年龄组的男性和女性同伴节食与瘦的驱动力（DT）之间的关联，并比较感知的同伴节食与报告的同伴节食的比率。（n = 1，468）和男性（n = 592），来自三个年龄组：青少年晚期（平均+/- SD年龄：20.0 +/- 1.6岁），成人（30.0 +/- 1.6岁）和中年（40.1 +/- 2.0岁）。结果：在女性和男性中，发现同伴节食与DT之间存在显著关联。对于女性来说，在青春期后期，同性同龄人的联系最强。在男性中，这种关联并不因年龄组或同龄人性别而异。预期的性别差异的协会的强度没有发现。报告节食发生率或低于感知peer.Conclusion：结果可能部分解释了为什么DT已被发现随着年龄的增长而下降的女性，但不是男性。需要纵向研究来支持横向研究结果。(C)出版社：Wiley Periodicals，Inc.
Objective: To examine associations between peer dieting and drive for thinness (DT) in men and women of three age groups and to compare rates of perceived vs. reported peer dieting.Method: Data came from an epidemiological study in which surveys were completed by women (n = 1,468) and men (n = 592) from three age groups: late adolescent (mean +/- SD age: 20.0 +/- 1.6 years), adult (30,0 +/- 1.6), and midlife (40.1 +/- 2.0).Results: Significant associations were found between perceived peer dieting and DT in women and men. For women, associations were strongest in late adolescents for same-sex peers. Associations in men did not differ by age group or peer sex. Expected gender differences in the strength of associations were not found. Reported dieting occurred at or below rates perceived for peers.Conclusion: Results may partially account for why DT has been found to decline with age in women, but not men. Longitudinal research is needed to support cross-sectional findings. (C) 2007 by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
