Abstract

Objectives

Muscle dysmorphia (MD) is a disorder affecting mainly men and is characterized by significant dissatisfaction with muscles. The idea that MD could represent an addiction has been theoretically discussed, but no empirical data are available. Based on Foster et al. (2015) framework, the Addiction to Body Image Inventory (ABII) was developed. This study aims to validate the ABII and to evaluate its capacity to capture MD severity.

Methods

A first community sample of 466 participants was recruited and completed the ABII and questionnaires on MD and body esteem. A second sample of 47 men at risk of MD was recruited mostly in gyms and completed the ABII and questionnaires on MD, eating and psychological symptoms.

Results

With the community sample, the results showed that the ABII had a valid factorial structure, good internal consistency, and good convergent validity. With the sample of men at risk of MD, the results showed that the ABII had good convergent validity with MD and eating symptoms but not with psychological symptoms. The results of a regression model showed that the ABII explained 12% of the MD variance.

Conclusions

This study brings the first measure of addiction to body image and suggests that MD must be understood as a complex phenomenon including eating symptoms and addictive tendencies.

从成瘾角度看肌肉畸形：身体形象成瘾量表（ABII）的验证

目的肌肉畸形（Muscle dysmorphia，MD）是一种主要影响男性的疾病，其特征是对肌肉严重不满意。有人从理论上讨论了肌肉畸形可能代表一种成瘾的观点，但目前尚无实证数据。基于 Foster 等人（2015 年）的框架，我们开发了身体形象成瘾量表（ABII）。本研究旨在对 ABII 进行验证，并评估其捕捉 MD 严重程度的能力。在社区样本中，结果显示 ABII 具有有效的因子结构、良好的内部一致性和良好的收敛效度。对于有患多发性硬化症风险的男性样本，结果显示 ABII 与多发性硬化症和饮食症状具有良好的会聚效度，但与心理症状的会聚效度不佳。回归模型的结果显示，ABII 可以解释 12% 的 MD 变异。结论这项研究首次提出了身体形象成瘾的测量方法，并表明必须将 MD 理解为一种包括饮食症状和成瘾倾向的复杂现象。
