月经是女性身体的一项重要功能，但很少有人将其纳入身体意象的研究。由于女性对月经的态度往往是负面的，这项研究旨在调查身体形象积极的女性对月经是否会有更积极的态度。研究人员在网上招募了72名年龄在18-45岁的美国女性，让她们完成身体鉴赏量表(Avalos et al.，2005)和对月经的信念和态度量表(Marvan et al.，2006)，并回答一些有关她们对月经抑制感兴趣的问题。线性回归表明，身体欣赏得分越高，预示着对月经的态度和信念越积极，但与月经抑制的兴趣无关。我们的发现可能有助于设计干预措施，以提高女性对自己的身体和身体功能的舒适度。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Menstruation is an important function of the female body, yet it has rarely been included in research on body image. As women's attitudes toward menstruation are so often negative, this study was designed to examine whether women with positive body image would have more positive attitudes toward menstruation. Seventy-two American women, ages 18-45 years, were recruited online to complete the Body Appreciation Scale (Avalos et al., 2005) and the Beliefs about and Attitudes toward Menstruation Scale (Marvan et al., 2006) and to answer some questions about their interest in menstrual suppression. Linear regressions showed that higher scores on body appreciation predicted more positive attitudes toward and beliefs about menstruation, but were not related to interest in menstrual suppression. Our findings may be useful in designing interventions to increase women's comfort with their bodies and bodily functions. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
