Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention model that integrates body movement and deconstruction approaches for young women with body ideals-related distress. Methods: A quasi-experimental research design was used to compare the changes between the experimental group ( n 1 = 322) and the control group ( n 2 = 78). The experimental group received six group sessions with three time point measurements. Results: The time × group repeated-measures analysis suggested the experimental group has a significant reduction in sociocultural pressure related to appearance (partial η 2 = .029), thin body ideals (partial η 2 = .029), body attractiveness (partial η 2 = .018), and media (partial η 2 = .014) than the control group. Additionally, the paired sample t -test results showed that experimental group participants showed greater improvement in self-esteem and self-mastery and a greater reduction in perceived stress. Conclusions: The findings support the effectiveness of the integration of body movement and deconstruction approaches to address young women's distress related to body ideals.

身体运动与解构相结合对年轻女性身体理想焦虑的影响：一项准实验研究

目的：本研究旨在建立并评估身体运动与解构相结合的干预模式对年轻女性身体理想相关困扰的有效性。方法：采用准实验研究设计，比较实验组（n 1 = 322）与对照组（n 2 = 78）的变化。实验组接受6次分组治疗，3次时间点测量。结果：时间×组重复测量分析表明，实验组在外貌（偏η 2 = 0.029）、理想身材（偏η 2 = 0.029）、身体吸引力（偏η 2 = 0.018）和媒介（偏η 2 = 0.014）方面的社会文化压力显著低于对照组。此外，配对样本t检验结果显示，实验组参与者在自尊和自我控制方面表现出更大的改善，并在感知压力方面表现出更大的减少。结论：研究结果支持了身体运动和解构相结合的方法在解决年轻女性关于身体理想的困扰方面的有效性。

期刊介绍： Research on Social Work Practice, sponsored by the Society for Social Work and Research, is a disciplinary journal devoted to the publication of empirical research concerning the methods and outcomes of social work practice. Social work practice is broadly interpreted to refer to the application of intentionally designed social work intervention programs to problems of societal and/or interpersonal importance, including behavior analysis or psychotherapy involving individuals; case management; practice involving couples, families, and small groups; community practice education; and the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policies.
