这项研究考察了媒体素养计划(ARMED)是否对饮食失调低风险或高风险的女大学生有效的预防干预。参与两次媒介素养干预的低(n=26)和高风险(n=19)女性与低(n=31)和高风险(n=16)对照组相比,饮食失调风险因素的变化进行了评估。有饮食失调高风险的女性在参加了ARMED之后,对身体的不满、对苗条的追求、对自己无能的感觉以及对社会美的内化程度都有了显著的降低,而对照组的参与者则没有。据报道,在高风险参与者中,完美主义、外貌比较或对美的社会标准的认识都没有显著下降。无论治疗条件如何,在低风险参与者中没有发现饮食失调危险因素的变化。研究结果表明,媒体素养可能是饮食失调的有效二级预防干预。
This study examined whether the media literacy program, ARMED, is an effective prevention intervention for college women at low- or high-risk for an eating disorder. Changes in eating disorder risk factors were assessed in low- (n=26) and high-risk (n=19) women participating in a two-session media literacy intervention as compared to low- (n=31) and high-risk (n=16) controls. Women at high-risk for an eating disorder reported significant decreases in body dissatisfaction, drive for thinness, feelings of ineffectiveness, and internalization of societal standards of beauty after participating in ARMED, whereas control participants did not. No significant decreases in perfectionism, physical appearance comparisons, or awareness of societal standards of beauty were reported among high-risk participants. Changes in eating disorder risk factors were not found among low-risk participants, regardless of treatment condition. Findings suggest that media literacy may be an effective secondary prevention intervention for eating disorders.
