Purpose: The descriptive study was designed to examine the relationship of eating attitudes to the internalization of sociocultural attitudes, body shape satisfaction, anger and anger expression in college women. Method: 247 women were recruited from one college located in Seoul, Korea. The instruments used were the Internalization subscale of SATAQ-3R, BSQ for body shape satisfaction, Spielberger's state trait anger expression inventory-Korean version for anger and anger expression, and the Eating Attitude Test(EAT-26) for eating attitudes. Results: The score of EAT significantly correlated with internalization, state anger, body shape satisfaction, and anger expression except trait anger. The significant predictors of eating attitudes in college women were body shape satisfaction and anger expression, explaining 55% of the variance in eating attitudes. Conclusion: This study showed that body shape satisfaction is an important predictor for an eating disorder. Therefore, various programs for cognitive changes correcting the understanding about body and weight need to be developed in the future.

본 연구에서는 20대 여성의 미용성형 경험과 미용성형수술 수용성(ACS)의 관계와 영향요인을 조사하였다. 무작위 표집한 20대 여성 330명을 대상으로 2017년 11월에 자료 수집을 하였다. 수집된 자료는 서술적 통계, t-test, crosstabs, chi-square test, ANOVA, correlation, binary logistic regression으로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 97.9%는 미용성형의 부작용에 대해 들어본 경험이 있었고, 정보원으로는 인터넷이 57.3%로 가장 많았다. 124명(37.6%)은 최소 1회 이상의 미용성형 경험이 있었고, 최초 성형을 한 연령은 21.81(${\pm}2.83$)세였다. ACS는 외모만족도와 음의 상관관계(r=-0.18, p=.001)가 있었다. 미용성형 경험 여부에 영향을 미치는 요인은 연령, ACS와 BMI였고, 변수들의 설명력은 28.9%였다. 연령이 1살이 높아질수록 미용성형 경험이 있을 확률이 1.17배 높아지고(OR=1.17, p=.002), ACS가 1점이 높아질수록 미용성형 경험이 있을 확률이 1.06배 높았으며(OR=1.06, p<.001), BMI 점수가 1점이 높아질수록 미용성형의 경험이 있을 확률이 0.84배 낮아졌다(OR=0.84, p<.001). 대상자의 심신건강을 위한 관련 정책을 위하여 점차 증가하는 20대 여성의 미용성형수술과 관련한 다양한 영향요인을 조사 등 후속연구를 제언한다.
