Abstract

Perfectionism is positively related to muscle dysmorphia (MD). However, research on this relationship is limited by conceptual and methodological issues (e.g., conceptualizing perfectionism as unidimensional, suboptimal analytical techniques, and failing to examine whether perfectionistic self-presentation is also related to MD). To address these issues, we used a structural equation modeling strategy to examine whether dimensions of perfectionistic self-presentation add incrementally to the prediction of MD. A sample of 402 adult males who exercise regularly completed the study. We found that perfectionistic self-promotion, nondisplay of imperfection, and nondisclosure of imperfection accounted for significant increases in variance explained in MD (Δ R 2 = .126–.192). This means that clinicians and practitioners need to consider not only whether exercisers are motivated by a drive to be perfect (inherent in dimensions of trait perfectionism), but also whether they are motivated by a drive to appear perfect to others (inherent in dimensions of perfectionistic self-presentation).
男性锻炼者的特质完美主义、完美主义自我呈现与肌肉畸形:一个结构方程建模策略
完美主义与肌肉畸形(MD)呈正相关。然而,对这种关系的研究受到概念和方法问题的限制(例如,将完美主义概念化为一维的、次优的分析技术,以及未能检查完美主义自我表现是否也与MD有关)。为了解决这些问题,我们使用结构方程建模策略来检验完美主义自我表现的维度是否会逐渐增加MD的预测。402名经常锻炼的成年男性完成了这项研究。我们发现,完美主义的自我推销、不表现不完美和不披露不完美导致了MD方差的显著增加(Δ r2 = 0.126 - 0.192)。这意味着临床医生和从业人员不仅需要考虑锻炼者是否受到追求完美的动力(特质完美主义的内在维度)的激励,还要考虑他们是否受到在他人面前表现完美的动力(完美主义自我表现的内在维度)的激励。
