饮食失调的社会文化模型缺乏全面的解释，说明瘦的理想内化是如何导致身体不满的。本研究考察了两种解释这种关系的社会心理学理论，即社会比较理论和客观化理论，对265名就读于东南大学的女性进行了调查。社会比较(一般的和外表相关的)和身体监督(客观化的指标)被检验为瘦理想内化与身体不满之间关系的中介变量。结果表明，身体监督是这种关系的一个重要的特定中介；然而，社会比较的可操作性都不是这样的。研究结果通过更全面地理解瘦理想内化在身体不满意中表现出来的过程，有助于详细阐述饮食失调的社会文化模型。目前的研究结果还强调了在临床环境中以身体监测为目标的重要性。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Sociocultural models of disordered eating lack comprehensive explanations as to how thin ideal internalization leads to body dissatisfaction. This study examined two social psychological theories as explanations of this relation, namely social comparison and objectification theories, in a sample of 265 women attending a Southeastern university. Social comparison (both general and appearance-related) and body surveillance (the indicator of objectification) were tested as mediators of the relation between thin ideal internalization and body dissatisfaction using bootstrapping analyses. Results indicated that body surveillance was a significant specific mediator of this relation; however, neither operationalization of social comparison emerged as such. Results serve to elaborate upon the sociocultural model of disordered eating by providing a more comprehensive understanding of the processes by which thin ideal internalization manifests itself in body dissatisfaction. The current findings also highlight the importance of targeting body surveillance in clinical settings. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
