目的 对于青春期女性芭蕾舞演员（一个对身体不满意和饮食失调的高风险群体）如何构建理想的身体，以及她们的社会身份如何与理想的身体相互作用而带来饮食失调的风险，人们知之甚少。本研究利用一项新颖的体形行为任务，调查了（1）身体不满意程度是否与饮食失调的思想和行为的严重程度相对应，以及（2）青少年芭蕾舞者的芭蕾舞身份如何与理想体形尺寸相对应。方法参与者是 188 名 13-18 岁的女性芭蕾舞者，他们完成了研究结构和行为任务的自我报告测量。结果线性回归模型表明，更严重的身体状况不满意与饮食失调的想法和行为增加呈正相关（p< .19），但肌肉锻炼除外（p= .32）。我们还发现，对芭蕾舞演员的认同感更强与较小的理想体型相关 (p= .017)。 结论 这项研究的结果表明，渴望实现较小体型的愿望与更严重的饮食失调认可和更强的芭蕾舞认同相关。教练和临床医生可以考虑评估个体将芭蕾舞演员视为饮食失调风险因素的程度，并鼓励青少年舞者建立和培养芭蕾舞之外的其他身份。公共意义饮食失调是一种使人衰弱的状况，可能导致营养不良、社会孤立，甚至过早死亡。尽管饮食观念和行为失调会影响任何人，但从事体力要求高和身体形象驱动的活动（包括芭蕾舞）的青少年尤其容易受到影响。调查身体不满意和认同强度等因素与高危人群饮食失调之间的关系对于制定有效的预防和干预方法以最大程度地减少伤害至关重要。
ObjectiveLittle is known about how female adolescent ballet dancers—a group at high‐risk for the development of body dissatisfaction and eating disorders—construct body ideals, and how their social identities interact with body ideals to confer risk for disordered eating. Using a novel body figure behavioral task, this study investigated (1) whether degree of body dissatisfaction corresponded to severity of disordered eating thoughts and behaviors, and (2) how ballet identity corresponded with ideal body figure size among adolescent ballet dancers.MethodsParticipants were 188 female ballet dancers ages 13‐18 years who completed self‐report measures of study constructs and the behavioral task.ResultsLinear regression models indicated that more severe body dissatisfaction was positively associated with increased disordered eating thoughts and behaviors (p< .19), except for muscle building (p= .32). We also found that identifying more strongly as a ballet dancer was correlated with having a smaller ideal body size (p= .017).ConclusionFindings from this study suggest desire to achieve smaller body sizes is correlated with more severe disordered eating endorsement and stronger ballet identity. Instructors and clinicians may consider assessing the extent to which individuals identify as a ballet dancer as a risk factor for disordered eating and encourage adolescent dancers to build and nurture other identities beyond ballet.Public significanceEating disorders are debilitating conditions that can lead to malnutrition, social isolation, and even premature death. Though disordered eating thoughts and behaviors can affect anyone, adolescents in physically demanding and body image‐driven activities including ballet dance are particularly vulnerable. Investigating how factors like body dissatisfaction and strength of identity are associated with disordered eating among high‐risk groups is crucial for developing effective prevention and intervention methods that minimize harm.
