Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the factors affecting subjective body shape perception among female university students. This research conducted a survey targeting 121 female university students. The collected data were analyzed by Pearson's Correlation, Multiple Regression using SPSS/Win 23.0. were identified as factors influencing on subjective body shape perception in female university students. As the results of regression analysis, sociocultural attitudes towards appearance, body cathexis, self-esteem, BMI demonstrated significant effects on subjective body shape perception. and these are significantly predicted 46.8% of subjective body shape perception. The factor of the greatest impact on subjective body shape perception is sociocultural attitudes towards appearance. In order to positively change body shape perception, it is necessary to help them perceive their body shape as it is, accept the actual body shape, and have a specific way to be satisfied with their body shape.

본 연구의 목적은 여대생의 주관적 체형 인식에 미치는 영향요인을 파악하는 것이다. 본 연구는 여대생 121명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS/Win 23.0을 이용하여 피어슨 상관관계, 다중 회귀분석으로 분석하였다. 연구결과 여대생의 주관적 체형 인식에 영향을 미치는 요인은 외모에 대한 사회문화적 태도, 신체만족도, 자아존중감, BMI으로 확인되었고 설명력은 56.0%이었다. 구체적으로 외모에 대한 사회문화적 태도가 높을수록, 신체만족도가 낮을수록, 자아존중감이 낮을수록, BMI가 높을수록 여대생의 주관적 체형 인식은 부정적인 것으로 나타났다. 이중 외모에 대한 사회문화적 태도는 주관적 체형 인식에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요인으로 설명되었다. 체형 인식을 긍정적으로 변화시키기 위해서는 자신의 체형을 있는 그대로 지각하고 실제 체형을 수용하여 자신의 체형에 대해 만족할 수 있는 구체적인 방법을 갖도록 도와주어야 한다. 또한 이상적 체형 기준을 강요하는 사회 분위기 개선이 필요하다.
