采用纸笔测验法，对62名男大学生和117名女大学生身体意象的两个方面--正常体重知觉和情感知觉进行了研究。研究了性别、年龄、愤怒和实际体重（体重不足、正常体重、超重）等社会特征与体像失真的关系。与正常体重的受访者相比，体重过轻或超重的人更容易在感知上扭曲他们与体重相关的外表。在那些错误感知自己体重相关外观的人中，体重过轻和超重的人都倾向于使自己的外观正常化。在那些错误感知自己体重相关外观的人中，性别也与所经历的感知扭曲类型有关。女性倾向于认为自己看起来更重;男性倾向于认为自己看起来比实际轻。BW的知觉扭曲与躯体情感之间没有相关性。年龄、种族和实际BW与影响有关。年轻受访者的情感比老年受访者更消极。白色个体的情感得分比非白色个体差。超重的受访者也有更多的负面影响分数比其他受访者。
Two aspects of body image, perception of normalcy of weight and affect, were studied by means of a paper-and-pencil test with 62 mail and 117 female undergraduates. The relationship of the social characteristics of sex, age, rage and actual body weight [BW] (underweight, normal weight, overweight) to body-image distortion was investigated. Individuals who were underweight or overweight were more likely to perceptually distort their weight-related appearance than were normal weight respondents. Among those who misperceived their weight-related appearance, both underweight and overweight persons tended to normalize their appearance. Among those who misperceived their weight-related appearance, sex was also related to the type of perceptual distortion experienced. Females tended to perceive themselves as appearing heavier; males tended to perceive themselves as appearing lighter, than they actually were. There was no relationship between perceptual distortion of BW and body affect. Age, race and actual BW were related to affect. Affect was more negative among young respondents than older respondents. White individuals had poorer affect scores than non-white. Overweight respondents also had more negative affect scores than other respondents.
