본 연구는 한국과 중국, 일본 남녀 대학생들의 신체가치관과 신체이미지를 비교하기 위한 것이다. 이를 위해 한국(n=347), 중국(n=341), 일본(n=271)의 남녀 대학생을 대상으로 신체에 대한 가치관인 신체조작성, 신체편향성, 신체평가소재, 외모도구성과 객체화 신체의식 그리고 신체존중감을 조사하였다. 분석결과, 신체가치관과 객체화 신체의식, 외모존중감에서 국가간 차이가 있었다. 한국대학생들은 신체에 대한 자의적 조작에 가장 허용적이며, 건강보다는 외모를 중요한 것으로 믿으며, 자신의 신체를 타인의 관점에서 평가하며, 외모가 이성관계나 사회적 성취에서 도구적 기능을 하는 것으로 믿는 정도가 일본이나 중국대학생에 비해 높아서 삼국 중 가장 덜 보수적인 신체가치관을 가지고 있었다. 외모존중감은 중국대학생과 비슷한 수준이지만 일본대학생에 비해 높았다. 자신의 신체에 대한 감시성과 수치심은 일본대학생과 비슷한 수준이었지만 중국대학생에 비해서는 높았다. 성별 차이에 관해, 여대생은 남대생에 비해 상대적으로 건강에 비해 외모를 더 중요한 것으로 믿고 있으며, 외모존중감이 더 낮으며, 감시성이나 수치심도 더 높은 것으로 나타나서 신체가치관에서는 큰 차이가 없지만, 외모존중감이나 객체화신체의식은 더 부정적인 것으로 나타났다. 집단별로 볼 때, 한국여대생은 신체가치관은 가장 덜 보수적이었으며, 외모존중감과 객체화 신체의식은 중국여대생과 일본여대생의 중간수준이었다. 일본여대생은 특히 외모존중감이 가장 낮고 신체에 대한 감시성과 수치심이 가장 높아서 가장 부정적인 신체경험을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 중국여대생은 가장 보수적인 신체가치관을 가지고 있으며 외모존중감이 한국과 일본여대생에 비해 높고 감시성이나 수치심은 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 중국과 일본표본에서 신체가치관은 객체화 신체의식의 매개과정을 통해 외모존중감에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나, 한국표본에서는 신체가치관이 외모존중감에 직접적인 영향도 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

This study investigated multidimensional body image, self-esteem, clothing benefits sought, and Body Image After Breast Cancer (BIABC) within surgical subgroups among breast cancer survivors. The study applied the questionnaire survey method and the main research was conducted through an online survey. The respondents included 207 breast cancer survivors between the ages of 30 and 59, each of whom received the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ). Self-esteem, clothing benefits sought, examination, and demographic variables were measured using a 5-point Likert scale. The main results of this study are outlined below. For clothing benefit sought, six factors were formulated-pursuit of self-expression/social approval, function/health, compensation, femininity, fashion, and camouflage-and BIABC was defined by the four factors of body stigma/vulnerability, transparency, limitation and cancer concern. While MBSRQ and self-esteem did not show a statistically significant difference between groups differentiated by the surgical methods experienced, those who underwent mastectomies scored slightly lower than members of the other groups. Moreover, the reconstruction after mastectomy group showed the highest mean on self-expression/social approval, compensation, femininity and entire clothing benefits sought, followed by the lumpectomy group and mastectomy group. The lumpectomy group was found to have more positive BIABC than the mastectomy group. In particular, the mastectomy group showed a lower body stigma/vulnerability mean than the other groups. This study is meaningful in that it improves our understanding of the body image of breast cancer survivors and provides basic knowledge for developing products and marketing strategies for breast cancer survivors as consumers.

The present study was conducted to develop a Multi-dimensional Body Image Scale for Malaysian female adolescents. Data were collected among 328 female adolescents from a secondary school in Kuantan district, state of Pahang, Malaysia by using a self-administered questionnaire and anthropometric measurements. The self-administered questionnaire comprised multiple measures of body image, Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26; Gamer & Garfinkel, 1979) and Rosenberg Self-esteem Inventory (Rosenberg, 1965). The 152 items from selected multiple measures of body image were examined through factor analysis and for internal consistency. Correlations between Multi-dimensional Body Image Scale and body mass index (BMI), risk of eating disorders and self-esteem were assessed for construct validity. A seven factor model of a 62-item Multi-dimensional Body Image Scale for Malaysian female adolescents with construct validity and good internal consistency was developed. The scale encompasses 1) preoccupation with thinness and dieting behavior, 2) appearance and body satisfaction, 3) body importance, 4) muscle increasing behavior, 5) extreme dieting behavior, 6) appearance importance, and 7) perception of size and shape dimensions. Besides, a multidimensional body image composite score was proposed to screen negative body image risk in female adolescents. The result found body image was correlated with BMI, risk of eating disorders and self-esteem in female adolescents. In short, the present study supports a multi-dimensional concept for body image and provides a new insight into its multi-dimensionality in Malaysian female adolescents with preliminary validity and reliability of the scale. The Multi-dimensional Body Image Scale can be used to identify female adolescents who are potentially at risk of developing body image disturbance through future intervention programs.

Purpose: This descriptive study was designed to investigate Body Mass Index(BMI), weight control behavior, and self-esteem in high school adolescents. Method: The convenience sample consisted of 129 high school females and 106 high school males. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire from November to December, 1999. BMI was calculated by using the subject's self-reported body weight and height to identify objective obesity. Self evaluation about subjective obesity was measured by a single item question. Preferred BMI was calculated by using the subject's elf-reported body weight and height which the subjects desired. The Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale was utilized to measure the level of self-esteem. Results: Results of the study revealed that high school females perceived themselves as more more obese than their the actual BMI, excessively participated in dieting behavior and exercises, and reported lower self-esteem than that of males. Conclusion: Based on this study, health care providers need to educate female adolescents about healthy behavior as well as the normal weight range in BMI.
