目的:文獻指出人際壓力、負向情緒等情境變項可與特質變項互動而影響偏差飲食行為。國內以大學生為對象的實徵研究相當有限。故本研究旨在探討台灣大學生之偏差飲食行為及其預測因子。方法:以自陳問卷測量507名大學生之偏差飲食行為、壓力、情緒、衝動性及痛苦容忍等變項。結果:高偏差飲食行為傾向者占比為5.5%。性別、人際壓力及負向情緒為偏差飲食行為的顯著預測因子。個人特質方面,衝動性與偏差飲食行為無顯著相關,而情緒逃避與較高的偏差飲食行為有關。結論:人際壓力與負向情緒為台灣大學生偏差飲食行為的重要風險因子。值得注意的是,本研究發現兩性呈現不同預測模型,負向情緒為共同風險因子,但人際壓力僅對女性大學生具顯著預測力。
Objective: The literature indicated that contextual variables such as interpersonal stress and negative emotion can interact with trait variables and affect disordered eating. However, the empirical study on college students in Taiwan is very limited. Thus, this study aimed at investigating Taiwan college students' disordered eating and its predictors. Methods: Participants were 507 Taiwan college student. Their disordered eating behaviors, stress, emotion status, impulsivity and distress tolerance were measured by self-rated questionnaires. Results: The prevalence of disordered eating was 5.5% in the college students. Gender, interpersonal stress and negative emotion were significant predictors of disordered eating behaviors. In particular, negative emotion can significantly predict high disordered eating. In terms of trait variables, impulsivity was not significantly correlated with disordered eating behaviors. The emotional avoidance was significantly associated with the disordered eating behaviors. Conclusion: The interpersonal stress and negative emotion were important risk factors of disordered eating in Taiwan undergraduate students. It is noteworthy that there existed different predicting models for male and female participants. The negative emotion was a common risk factor for both males and females. However, the interpersonal stress can predict disordered eating in the female sample, but not in the male one.
