Abstract

Recent work has served to dissociate two dimensions of trait body dissatisfaction: body dissatisfaction frequency and body dissatisfaction duration. The present study sought to evaluate whether body dissatisfaction frequency and body dissatisfaction duration are each associated with distinct patterns of appearance-related cognitive processing. It was hypothesized that speeded attentional engagement with idealized bodies is associated with higher frequency of body dissatisfaction episodes, while slowed attentional disengagement from such information may instead be associated with higher duration of body dissatisfaction episodes. Participants (238 women, 149 men) completed an attentional task capable of independently assessing attentional engagement with, and attentional disengagement from, idealized bodies. Participants also completed both trait and in vivo (i.e., ecological momentary assessment) measures of body dissatisfaction frequency and duration. Results showed that neither engagement nor disengagement bias index scores predicted variance in either body dissatisfaction frequency measures or body dissatisfaction duration measures. Findings suggest that either biased attentional engagement with, and disengagement from, idealized bodies do not associate with the frequency and duration of body dissatisfaction episodes, or there are other key moderating factors involved in the expression of body dissatisfaction-linked attentional bias.

对外表理想的注意参与和脱离：与身体不满意的频率和持续时间的不同关系？

最近的研究将特质身体不满意的两个维度区分开来：身体不满意频率和身体不满意持续时间。本研究试图评估身体不满意频率和身体不满意持续时间是否分别与外貌相关认知加工的不同模式有关。研究假设，对理想化身体的快速注意与较高的身体不满意发作频率有关，而对此类信息的缓慢注意分离可能与较高的身体不满意持续时间有关。参与者（238 名女性和 149 名男性）完成了一项注意力任务，该任务能够独立评估对理想化身体的注意力投入和注意力脱离。参与者还完成了对身体不满意频率和持续时间的特质和活体（即生态瞬间评估）测量。结果表明，参与或脱离偏差指数得分都不能预测身体不满意频率测量或身体不满意持续时间测量的差异。研究结果表明，要么对理想化身体的参与和脱离与身体不满意发作的频率和持续时间无关，要么在身体不满意相关注意偏差的表达中存在其他关键的调节因素。

期刊介绍： Body Image is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality, scientific articles on body image and human physical appearance. Body Image is a multi-faceted concept that refers to persons perceptions and attitudes about their own body, particularly but not exclusively its appearance. The journal invites contributions from a broad range of disciplines-psychological science, other social and behavioral sciences, and medical and health sciences. The journal publishes original research articles, brief research reports, theoretical and review papers, and science-based practitioner reports of interest. Dissertation abstracts are also published online, and the journal gives an annual award for the best doctoral dissertation in this field.
