摘要

在一个以外貌为基础理想化或污名化女性的社会中,身体满意度可能在女性对自己的整体感觉中起着重要作用。尽管人们认为身体满意度在整个成年期相对稳定,但人们对女性一生中身体满意度和自尊之间的关系知之甚少。重要的是,自我概念是动态的,随着女性的成长和承担新的责任而变化。因此,我们有理由相信,在以后的生活中,身体形象对自尊的影响不那么重要。在对806名女性(其中一半年龄超过65岁)的横断面调查和对大型(约22,000名女性)纵向数据集的二次分析中,我们探讨了这种相关性,重点是包括65岁以上的女性,因为这种关系尚未得到仔细研究。在这两项研究中,我们都发现年长女性的身体满意度和自尊之间的横断面关系比年轻女性弱。纵向分析还显示,无论研究开始时的年龄如何,在对女性的9年跟踪调查中,这种关系略有减弱。调查结果显示,这可能是因为随着年龄的增长,身体形象对女性来说变得不那么重要。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA,版权所有)。

The relationship between body satisfaction and self-esteem in women throughout the lifespan.

In a society that idealizes or stigmatizes women based on what they look like, body satisfaction may play an important role in how women feel about themselves overall. Although body satisfaction is thought to be relatively stable throughout adulthood, little is known about the relationship between body satisfaction and self-esteem across a woman's lifespan. Importantly, the self-concept is dynamic, changing as women grow and amass new responsibilities. Thus, there is reason to believe that body image should be less crucial to self-esteem later in life. In a cross-sectional survey of 806 women (half over age 65) and in secondary analyses of a large (n > 22,000 women) longitudinal data set, we explore this correlation, with an emphasis on including women over age 65, for whom this relationship has not been closely examined. In both studies, we find that the cross-sectional relationship between body satisfaction and self-esteem is weaker in older women than in younger women. Longitudinal analyses also show that the relationship slightly weakens across the 9 years the women were followed, regardless of their age at the start of the study. Survey results suggest this may be due to body image becoming less important to women as they age. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).

期刊介绍: Psychology and Aging publishes original articles on adult development and aging. Such original articles include reports of research that may be applied, biobehavioral, clinical, educational, experimental (laboratory, field, or naturalistic studies), methodological, or psychosocial. Although the emphasis is on original research investigations, occasional theoretical analyses of research issues, practical clinical problems, or policy may appear, as well as critical reviews of a content area in adult development and aging. Clinical case studies that have theoretical significance are also appropriate. Brief reports are acceptable with the author"s agreement not to submit a full report to another journal.
