Abstract

We attempted to determine how adolescents' general characteristics, appearance stress, and anxiety affect adolescents' body image distortion using data from the 16th Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey. We confirmed Body image distortion in 38.2% of the subjects, and the results of underestimated body image in 19.9% and overestimation in 18.3%. Appearance stress and anxiety were found to have an effect in both underestimate and overestimate groups. We confirmed that demographic characteristics such as gender, economic level, and academic level influence different aspects in the underestimation and overestimation groups. Therefore, we suggested that comprehensive evaluation by subdividing the subjective perception of adolescents' weight into cases of overestimation and underestimation will be an important factor in determining mental health and weight control behavior in the future.

우리는 제 16차 청소년건강행태조사 자료를 이용하여 청소년의 일반적 특성, 외모스트레스, 불안이 청소년의 신체 이미지 왜곡에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 확인하고자 시도하였다. 우리는 대상자의 38.2%에서 신체이미지 왜곡을 확인하였고 19.9%에서 신체 이미지에 대한 과소평가(underestimate), 18.3%에서 과대평가(overestimate)하는 결과를 확인하였다. 과소평가(underestimate)와 과대평가(overestimate) 집단 모두에서 외모스트레스, 불안이 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다. 우리는 성별, 경제적 수준, 학업수준등의 인구학적 특성이 과소평가와 과대평가 집단에서 각각 다른 양상으로 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, 우리는 청소년의 체중에 대한 주관적인 인식을 과대평가와 과소평가의 경우로 세분화하여 포괄적인 평가를 하는 것이 추후 정신건강과 체중 조절 행동을 결정하는 중요한 요소가 될 것으로 제언한다.
