Abstract

Adolescents are believed to be susceptible to eating disorders (EDs) due to their serious fear of appearance evaluation from society. Related to this, low body-esteem has been found to be common among individuals with EDs. The present study mainly aimed to explore how emotional intelligence (EI), gender, and body size influence the relationship between body-esteem and EDs risk among adolescents. 128 middle school students classified as obese and 128 age-and gender-matched normal weight controls were included. All participants were asked to fill out self-report measures of body-esteem, EI, and EDs risk. The results showed that (1) both gender and body size directly influenced body-esteem and EDs risk; (2) EI acted as a moderator between body-esteem and EDs risk; and (3) both gender and body size interacted with EI and body-esteem to influence EDs risk. These findings contribute to our understanding of boundary conditions by which low body-esteem leads to EDs among adolescents, and help us to correspondingly conduct targeted intervention of adolescents' EDs.

身体自尊导致青少年饮食失调风险的边界条件。

青少年被认为容易患饮食失调症(EDs)，因为他们严重害怕社会对外表的评价。与此相关的是，在ed患者中，低身体自尊是很常见的。本研究旨在探讨情绪智力(EI)、性别和体型对青少年身体自尊与ed风险之间关系的影响。其中包括128名被归类为肥胖的中学生和128名年龄和性别匹配的正常体重控制者。所有参与者都被要求填写身体自尊、情商和ed风险的自我报告。结果表明:(1)性别和体型直接影响身体自尊和ed风险;(2) EI在身体自尊与ed风险之间起调节作用;(3)性别、体型与情商、身体自尊相互作用影响ed风险。这些发现有助于我们理解低身体自尊导致青少年ed的边界条件，并有助于我们对青少年ed进行相应的针对性干预。
