Abstract

Objective

Disrupted interoception has been found in individuals with body image concerns and related psychiatric conditions (i.e., eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorder). However, few studies have explored the role of interoception in the relationship between body image concern and self-objectification (SO). As components of the bodily self, interoception and body image may also contribute to the fostering of self-consciousness.

Methods

The current study estimated the network model of body image concern, adaptive and maladaptive interoceptive sensibility (IS), self-consciousness, and SO, with data from 743 neurotypical adults. The centrality of nodes and the robustness of the network were verified.

Results

Our network showed that interoception correlated with certain characteristics of body image concern (BIC) with varying strength and different directions. The most central node described beliefs of BIC, namely, negative evaluation toward appearance. Self-objectification and maladaptive IS presented the highest bridge centrality. Interoception also linked BICs with SO and self-consciousness.

Conclusion

Findings suggested that SO, adaptive and maladaptive interoception might be the targets of intervention for individuals with BIC, specifically for those with high levels of appearance-related negative self-evaluations.

对关注身体形象、感知间感性、自我意识和自我物化的网络分析。

目的在有身体形象问题和相关精神疾病（如进食障碍、身体畸形障碍）的人身上，我们发现了内感知障碍。然而，很少有研究探讨内感知在身体形象问题与自我物化（SO）之间的关系中的作用。作为身体自我的组成部分，内感知和身体形象也可能有助于培养自我意识：本研究利用 743 名神经畸形成年人的数据，估算了身体形象关注、适应性和适应不良的内感知敏感性（IS）、自我意识和自我客体化的网络模型。结果表明，我们的网络显示，内感知与身体形象相关性与自我意识相关性呈正相关：我们的网络显示，内感知与关注身体形象（BIC）的某些特征相关，其强度和方向各不相同。最中心的节点描述了体像关注的信念，即对外表的负面评价。自我物化和适应不良的 IS 的桥中心度最高。内感知也将BIC与SO和自我意识联系在一起：研究结果表明，SO、适应性和适应不良的内感知可能是对 BIC 患者进行干预的目标，特别是对那些与外貌相关的负面自我评价水平较高的患者。
