研究人员强调了不良的身体形象在饮食失调发展中的重要性，但对其他结果却没有进行系统的调查。作者研究了身体形象不同方面与心理社会功能之间的关系。参与者为8年级和9年级的245名男孩和173名女孩（M年龄= 13.92岁，SD = 0.69岁）。受访者完成了身体吸引力、身体满意度、身体形象重要性、身体形象行为、外表比较、社会体格焦虑、自尊、抑郁、焦虑以及同性和异性关系的测量。尽管女孩比男孩更倾向于报告负面的身体形象，但身体形象与自尊的相关性在男孩和女孩中是相似的。关注他人对自己身材的评价对于理解女性的低自尊尤为重要，而对于男孩来说，总体吸引力的评分最能预测自尊。作者发现，负面的身体形象与负面情绪的症状无关，但与异性同伴关系的不良密切相关，尤其是在男孩中。负面的身体形象也影响了女孩之间的同性关系。
Researchers have highlighted the significance of a poor body image in the development of dysfunctional eating but have systematically investigated few other outcomes. The authors examined the relationships between different aspects of body image and psychosocial functioning. Participants were 245 boys and 173 girls from Grades 8 and 9 (M age = 13.92 years, SD = 0.69 years). Respondents completed measures of physical attractiveness, body satisfaction, body image importance, body image behaviors, appearance comparison, social physique anxiety, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and same-sex and opposite-sex relations. Whereas girls tended to report it more negative body image than did boys, the relevance of body image to self-esteem wits similar for boys and girls. Concern about others' evaluation of their bodies was especially important in understanding low female self-esteem, whereas for boys, ratings of general attractiveness most strongly predicted self-esteem. The authors found a negative body image to be unrelated to symptoms of negative affect but to be strongly associated with poor opposite-sex peer relationships, especially among boys. A negative body image also affected same-sex relations among girls.
