女性身體意象之認知評估歷程初探

A Preliminary Exploration of Cognitive Appraisals of Body Image Stressors among Women

指導教授 : 吳英璋

摘要


目前為止,大多數的研究顯示女性對自己的體型普遍有負面感受,且超過半數的女性曾經進行減重。但至今尚未有研究清楚說明,生活中與外表相關的事件是如何引發女性的壓力感受。本研究之主要目的在於,藉由結合身體意象的認知行為模式、自我差距理論及壓力因應模式,探討女性在面對身體意象壓力源時的認知評估歷程。此外,本研究也將討論女性的年齡與身體質量指數(BMI) 對身體意象的影響。本研究以703位年齡介於18歲到67歲的台灣女性為對象。以結構式問卷做為研究工具,問卷內容包括:輪廓描繪評分量表、多向度身體和自我關係問卷、外表基模問卷─修訂版、體型壓力評估量表。結果顯示:(一)身體意象投入包括動機因素與認知因素兩個因素,前者與身體意象評價呈正相關,後者與身體意象評價呈負相關。此外,身體意象評價與體型差距、壓力評估呈負相關。(二)年長女性的身體意象投入低於年輕女性;而身體意象評價在不同年齡層的女性之間並無差異。(三)BMI較高的女性,其身體意象評價低於BMI較低的女性;而身體意象投入在不同BMI 範圍的女性之間並無差異。(四)面對身體意象壓力源時,覺知到的目前體型較理想體型胖者,其體型壓力顯著高於目前體型較理想體型瘦、以及目前體型與理想體型相等者。(五)身體意象投入在認知評估歷程中不具有調節作用。本研究發現,在面對身體意象壓力源時,女性本身持有的身體意象態度,與其當下所知覺到的體型差距,皆可以預測其感受到的體型壓力。此外,本研究也呈現了女性的年齡和BMI與身體意象之間的關係。

The majority of studies to date revealed that most women experienced their body shape in a negative manner and more than half of them had tried to lose weight. However, little research had investigated how appearance-related life events made women feel stressful about their body By integrating the cognitive-behavioral model of body image, the Self-Discrepancy Theory, and the Stress-Coping Model, the present study aimed to explore the cognitive appraisal processes of body image stressors among women. Furthermore, the study also investigated the effects of age and body mass index (BMI) on body image. A sample of 703 women between the age of 18 and 67 years old completed a structured questionnaire which contained the Contour Drawing Rating Scale, Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ), Appearance Schemas Inventory─Revised, and Body Shape Stress Appraisal Scale. The results indicated that: 1) body image investment consisted of motivational factor and cognitive factor. The former was found positively correlated with body image evaluation, while the latter was negatively correlated with body image evaluation. Body image evaluation was also found negatively correlated with both current-ideal figural discrepancy and stress appraisal. 2) Older women had lower ratings of body image investment, while no significant age effect was found regarding body image evaluation. 3) Women with higher BMI had lower ratings of body image evaluation than women with lower BMI, while no significant effect was found regarding body image investment and BMI. 4) When facing body image stressors, women who rated their current figure as bigger than their ideal figure felt more stressful. 5) Body image investment did not function as a moderator variable in the cognitive appraisal process. The present study found that the body image attitudes women had and the current-ideal figural discrepancies they perceived under the circumstances predict how stressful women will feel when they encounter body image stressors. Last but not least, the present study demonstrated the influence of age and BMI on body image among women.
