Abstract

Introduction

The tendency to eat by paying attention and respecting the body's hunger and satiety cues is called intuitive eating. This eating behavior has been linked to positive health and well-being outcomes.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to test a global model linking intuitive eating with self-esteem, body esteem, media influence and including fear of negative appearance evaluation in adolescents’ boys and girls.

Method

In total, 740 adolescent high school students (51.5% girls; M age = 14, SD = 1.5) completed self-report questionnaires with measures of intuitive eating, body esteem, self-esteem, media influence and fear of negative appearance evaluation.

Results

Structural equation modeling revealed an overall excellent fit for the final four-variable model excluding the fear of negative appearance evaluation variable. Mediation analyses showed an indirect relationship between intuitive eating and body esteem via media influence, for girls but not for boys. Body esteem mediated the relationship between intuitive eating and self-esteem, for girls and boys.

Conclusion

A new model is proposed where intuitive eating is associated with self-esteem through body esteem and media influence. These findings suggest that regulating attitudes and behaviors toward food may be related to higher psychological well-being.

青少年直觉饮食的结构方程模型

通过关注和尊重身体的饥饿和饱腹感来进食的倾向被称为直觉进食。这种饮食行为与积极的健康和幸福结果有关。目的本研究的目的是测试一个全球性的模型，将直觉饮食与青少年男孩和女孩的自尊、身体自尊、媒体影响以及对负面外表评价的恐惧联系起来。方法740名青少年高中生(女生51.5%;M年龄= 14岁，SD = 1.5)完成了包括直觉饮食、身体自尊、自尊、媒体影响和对负面外貌评价的恐惧的自我报告问卷。结果结构方程模型显示，最终的四变量模型整体拟合良好，排除了负面外观评估变量的恐惧。中介分析显示，通过媒体的影响，直觉饮食和身体自尊之间存在间接关系，对女孩如此，但对男孩没有影响。对于女孩和男孩来说，身体自尊在直觉饮食和自尊之间起到中介作用。结论直觉性饮食通过身体自尊和媒体影响与自尊产生关联。这些发现表明，调节对食物的态度和行为可能与更高的心理健康有关。
