Abstract

The paper presents the analysis of the positive body image formation among young women, characterizes determinants of female body image and describes the results of an experimental study. The purpose of the study was to test the possibility of developing a positive body image by the means of psychological training. The study involved women aged 18—20 (N=64). The methods included questionnaires and interviews. The results show that the body image of young women was associated with unrealistic external standards, and there is a certain ambivalence to them. On the one hand, the indicators of the component of the body image which included information and evaluation are quite high in youth, but body dissatisfaction is also high and a significant part of the girls rely on external standards in assessing attractiveness. In the course of the formative experiment, it was found that the development of positive body image is promoted by personal psychological training aimed at reducing weight and body shape concerns, expanding internalized stereotypes about the body and increasing the body’s worthiness (differences in the body image components before and after training are significant at p≤0.05).
运用培训技术培养年轻女性积极的身体形象
本文分析了年轻女性积极身体形象的形成,描述了女性身体形象的决定因素,并描述了一项实验研究的结果。本研究的目的是测试通过心理训练培养积极身体形象的可能性。该研究涉及年龄在18-20岁的女性(N=64)。研究方法包括问卷调查和访谈。结果表明,年轻女性的身体形象与不切实际的外部标准相关联,存在一定的矛盾心理。一方面,青少年的身体形象的组成部分,包括信息和评价的指标相当高,但身体不满也很高,很大一部分女孩依靠外部标准来评估吸引力。在形成性实验过程中,我们发现以减轻体重和体型担忧、扩大对身体的内化刻板印象和增加身体价值为目标的个人心理训练促进了积极身体形象的发展(训练前后身体形象成分差异显著,p≤0.05)。
