Body image concerns are reported especially by (pre)adolescent girls. Since standard physical education lessons have rarely been considered as a possible setting for intervention studies, especially for the purpose of increasing body satisfaction, we developed and implemented a theoretically-driven pilot intervention study in physical education lessons for secondary schoolgirls. The aim of the study was to reduce body dissatisfaction in girls and to have the intervention content evaluated by the students. Thirty 12–13-year-old girls took part either in the intervention (n = 12) or control group (n = 18). The results of this study revealed that, as compared to the control group, participation in a 6-week physical education intervention significantly improved post-intervention weight and shape concern scores. Participants in both groups showed positive but non-significant changes in body dissatisfaction, body satisfaction and restrained eating following the trial, but there were no significant between group differences. Two girls from the intervention classes were interviewed after the intervention. They positively emphasised the practical and critical reflection components of the physical education intervention. These preliminary findings suggest that body image interventions in physical education represent important content for (pre)adolescent body-dissatisfied girls. However, the effectiveness of such intervention studies must be further investigated.

Studies on men’s body image are becoming increasingly popular. They show that body dissatisfaction may lead to certain health disorders (depressive mood, bigorexia, anxiety). This study focuses on the differences in body dissatisfaction among young men who work out to reach different aims (to increase, strengthen or to shape muscle mass). Body dissatisfaction was measured using the Bodybuilder Image Grid Scale. The results of this study show that there are no significant differences between men who exercise in gyms using different types of work-out. However, there is a significant difference between men who exercise to gain muscle mass and those who do not work out at all; the first group is less satisfied with their bodies as far as fat mass is concerned. Moreover, the evaluation of health and body attractiveness was measured using the questionnaire ‘Your values’ and asking men about the hypothetical possibility of giving up their longevity for a perfect body. The results indicate that men who exercise tend to treat health more instrumentally than those who do not train. Finally, those who train regularly find attractiveness of the body much more important than those who do not exercise at all.

Hypotheses. The authors hypothesized that preschool-age boys and girls would exhibit a positive attitude towards the thin silhouettes and a negative attitude towards overweight ones. Statistical analysis. The chi-square tests of homogeneity were used to verify the percentage, with which characteristics were attributed to the five silhouettes and also to verify the hypothesis regarding children negative stereotypes. The multiple linear regression model that includes maternal attitude towards overweight people, body dissatisfaction, restrictive eating behavior and internalization of the thin body ideal has been used to explore the link between body size attitudes in mothers and daughters. Submitted: 4. 9. 2020; V. E., Department of Psychology, Faculty of Psychology and Education Sciences, “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University, 3 Toma Cozma Street, Iasi, Romania; e-mail: violeta.enea@uaic.ro Results. Statistical analysis indicated that children as young as 4 years old hold prejudice against their overweight peers by attributing them a small percent of positive characteristics and a greater percentage of negative characteristics. Motherʼs body size attitude and restrictive eating behavior were associated with daughter prejudices. Paternal body size attitudes and body dissatisfaction predicted their sonʼs body size attitudes. Limitations. The procedure used to assess childrenʼs body dissatisfaction and the limited group of participants were the limitations of this study.

Cíle. Postoje k velikosti těla a nespokojenost s obrazem těla se vyvíjejí v raném dětství. Cílem studie bylo zjistit, do jaké míry postoje rodičů k velikosti těla, zvnitřnění genderově vhodných a sociálně přijatelných standardů krásy a nespokojenost s tělem utvářejí postoje jejich dětí k jejich vrstevníkům s nadváhou a jejich obraz o vlastním těle. Soubor. Autorky vedly rozhovory se 73 předškolními a školními dětmi a jejich rodiči v dyádách matka-dcera a otec-syn a hodnotily odpovídající koncepty. Hypotézy. Autorky předpokládaly, že chlapci a děvčata předškolního věku vykáží pozitivní postoje k štíhlým siluetám a negativní postoje k těm s nadváhou. Statistická analýza. Chí-kvadrát testy homogenity byly použity ke zjištění počtu procent, ve kterém byly charakteristiky připsány pěti siluetám, a také k ověření hypotéz o dětských negativních stereotypech. Vícenásobný lineární regresní model zahrnující mateřské postoje k lidem s nadváhou, nespokojenost s tělem, omezující jídelní chování a zvnitřnění ideálu štíhlého těla byl použit k prozkoumání souvislosti mezi postoji k velikosti těla u matek a dcer. Výsledky. Statistická analýza ukázala, že již čtyřleté děti mají předsudky vůči svým vrstevníkům s nadváhou a přisuzují jim malé procento pozitivních charakteristik a velké procento negativních charakteristik. Postoj matky k velikosti těla a omezující jídelní chování byly asociovány s předsudky dcer. Postoje otců k velikosti těla a jejich nespokojenost s tělem predikovaly postoje jejich synů k velikosti těla. Omezení. Procedura použitá k hodnocení nespokojenosti s dětským tělem a omezená skupina účastníků byly omezeními studie.

Celem badania była ocena związków między niezadowoleniem z własnego ciała a wybranymi zmiennymi osobowościowymi u osób z zaburzeniami odżywiania. Metoda: Przebadano 109 pacjentek spełniających kryteria jadłowstrętu psychicznego (n = 65) oraz żarłoczności psychicznej (n = 44) według DSM-IV. Grupę kontrolną stanowiło 65 zdrowych kobiet. W badaniach posłużono się Skalą Niezadowolenia z Własnego Ciała Kwestionariusza Zaburzeń Odżywiania, Kwestionariuszem Poczucia Własnej Wartości, Skalą Samowyrażania i Kontroli, Szpitalną Skalą Lęku i Depresji oraz Skalą Poczucia Umiejscowienia Kontroli. Wyniki: W badanej grupie pacjentek z anoreksją odnotowano znacząco niższy poziom niezadowolenia z własnego ciała, eksterioryzacji złości, zewnętrznego poczucia umiejscowienia kontroli oraz wiary w szczęście/przypadek w porównaniu z grupą pacjentek chorych na bulimię. Kobiety z jadłowstrętem psychicznym miały dodatkowo istotnie wyższy poziom rodzinnego poczucia własnej wartości oraz wewnętrznego poczucia umiejscowienia kontroli. U osób z anoreksją stwierdzono związki między niezadowoleniem z własnego ciała a: wiekiem (r = 0,440; p<0,01), rodzinnym poczuciem własnej wartości (r = -0,433; p<0,01) oraz zawodowym poczuciem własnej wartości (r = -0,412; p<0,01). W grupie kobiet z żarłocznością psychiczną niezadowolenie z własnego ciała pozostało zależne od eksterioryzacji złości (r = 0,434; p<0,01), kontroli w uzewnętrznianiu złości (r = 0,350; p<0,01), ogólnego poczucia własnej wartości (r = -0,438; p<0,01) oraz rodzinnego poczucia własnej wartości (r = -0,364; p<0,05). Wnioski: W przypadku osób z jadłowstrętem i bulimią psychiczną szczupła sylwetka wpływa na obraz siebie. Niezadowolenie z wizerunku własnego ciała należy traktować jako jeden z czynników wpływających na rozwój psychopatologii zaburzeń odżywiania.

The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between body dissatisfaction and personality variables among anorexic and bulimic women. Method: 109 patients with a DSM-IV-based diagnosis of anorexia (n = 65) or bulimia nervosa (n = 44) were examined. The control group consisted of 65 healthy women. The Body Dissatisfaction subscale of the Eating Disorders Inventory, Self-Esteem Inventory, the Self-Expression and Control Scale, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the Internal Powerful Others and Chance Scale were used in the study. Results: Body dissatisfaction, anger out, external control and belief in chance were significantly lower in the anorexic group as compared to the bulimic group. Additionally, the women suffering from anorexia had significantly higher family self-esteem and internal control. In the clinical sample of female adolescents suffering from anorexia, a correlation was found between body dissatisfaction and: age (r = 0,440; p<0,01), family self-esteem (r = -0,433; p<0,01) and professional self-esteem (r = -0,412; p<0,01). However, the body dissatisfaction in patients with bulimia nervosa was related to anger out (r = 0,434; p<0,01), anger out control (r = 0,350; p<0,01), general self-esteem (r = -0,438; p<0,01) and family self-esteem (r = -0,364; p<0,05). Conclusion: In the population suffering from anorexia and bulimia nervosa, the slim silhouette was found to be an important factor affecting self-image. Body dissatisfaction should be regarded as one of many factors influencing the development of psychopathology of eating disorders.
