对亚洲裔 (n=237)、欧洲裔 (n=196)、西班牙裔 (n=109) 和非洲裔 (n=58) 的美国大学女性的乳房和整体身体不满意进行了调查。亚裔美国女性在外观评估量表（Cash, T. F. 多维身体自我关系问卷用户手册：第 3 次修订版，2000 年）上报告的身体满意度最低，在两项乳房不满意测量之一上的乳房不满意程度最高。当身体尺寸（BMI）得到统计控制时，乳房不满意的种族差异消失了，但身体不满意的种族差异却消失了。结果与研究结果一致，显示（1）身体不满意的种族差异很小，（2）种族差异的研究必须包括对总体或特定身体尺寸的适当控制，（3）亚洲女大学生报告的总体身体满意度低于非洲、欧洲或西班牙裔女性。
Breast and global body dissatisfaction were examined in Asian (n=237), European (n=196), Hispanic (n=109), and African (n=58) American college women. Asian American women reported the lowest body satisfaction on the Appearance Evaluation Scale (Cash, T. F. The multidimensional body-self relations questionnaire users' manual: 3rd revision, 2000) and greatest breast dissatisfaction on one of two breast dissatisfaction measures. Ethnic differences in breast dissatisfaction, but not in body dissatisfaction, disappeared when body size (BMI) was statistically controlled. Results were consistent with research showing that (1) ethnic differences in body dissatisfaction are small, (2) studies of ethnic differences must include appropriate controls for total or specific body size, and (3) Asian college women report lower global body satisfaction than women of African, European, or Hispanic heritage.
