This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between an eating disorder, body image, depression and self-esteem amongst a subject group of 282 college women between Jan.,1st and 30th,2002, to provide base data for eating disorder levels of college women and to provide base data for health control. The evaluative instrument was a constructive questionnaire that consisted of 8 items of general characteristics and weight control questions, 24 questions relating to eating disorders, 17 questions pertaining to body image, 10 questions pertaining to depression and 10 questions pertaining to self-esteem. To identify the levels of an eating disorder, body image, depression and self-esteem perceived by subjects, the researcher used means and SDs. To test the significance of a subject's eating disorder, body image, depression and self-esteem according to the BMI, the researcher used the t-test. To test the correlation between the BMI, an eating disorder, body image, depression and self-esteem, the researcher used Pearson correlation coefficient. The results of this study are as follows. The mean score for anorexia nervosa was 31.52 and the mean score for bulimia nervosa was 24.12. Differences between the underweight group and the normal weight group in the level of eating disorders were significant (t=-6.94, p=.000). There were high positive correlations between the BMI and an eating disorder (r=.383, p<.01), between an eating disorder and depression (r=.161, p<.01), between body image and self-esteem (r=.653, p<.01). In addition, there were high negative correlations between an eating disorder and body image (r=-.214, p<01), between an eating disorder and self-esteem (r=-.196, p<.01), between depression and body image (r=-.541, p<.01), and between depression and self-esteem (r=-.537, p<.01). These results indicate that Korean college women need more education and counseling on dietary habits. Also, the systemic efforts reestablish the social standard of the beauty should be taken.

후기산업사회에서 몸에 대한 관심은, 몸의 개념을 단순히 건강한 몸으로부터 스타일을 구현하는 도구로서, 개인의 품격을 드러내주는 외피로서, 그리고 자신의 정체성을 수행하는 터전으로 확장시켜 나가는데 큰 기여를 했다. 이에 따라 몸 이미지(body image)는 물질적 몸 그 자체에 못지 않게 중요한 하나의 재현으로서 존재론적 의미를 갖게 되었다. 이 경향은 여성에 있어서 극대화되고 있으며 이 과정에서 사회문화적 통념은 여성들의 몸 이미지의 전형을 제시하면서 이를 내면화하도록 강제하고 있다. 몸에 대한 사회문화적 관심이 높아지면서 중요한 학문적 개념으로 등장하고 있는 몸 이미지 개념은 정신, 육체, 개인과 사회의 특성에 대한 인식론적 가정들을 토대로 하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 주요 학문 대상으로 부상하고 있는 몸 이미지의 이원론적 형성과정, 즉 사회문화적 전형(stereotype)화와 이 전형들이 시각 체계(the scopic regime)를 통해 주관적으로 내면화되는 과정의 상호 역동성에 대한 이론적 논의를 살펴보고 이 상호작용이 실제몸매관리산업 광고에 등장하는 몸 이미지에서 어떻게 드러나는지 이미지 분석을 통하여 검증해보았다. 분석대상은 다국적 몸매관리업체인 M사 광고 이미지와 광고 문안, 그리고 보도자료 등 홍보 문건이다. 이 분석을 통해 한국의 몸 이미지의 전형이 서구화되어 있고 이에 남성적 응시가 다각도로 용해되어 있으며 이의 내면화가 매우 정교하게 이루어지고 있음을 발견할 수 있었다. 이로써 여성 몸 이미지의 건강한 생산과 확산이 여성의 주체적 노력에 의하여 이루어져야할 것이라는 당위성이 대두되었다.

Objectives: Self perceived body image among women is drawing a lot of attention in Korea due to their unhealthy weight control behaviors. To determine the relationship between self-perceived body image and dietary behaviors among Korean women, the discrepancy between actual body size and body image perception, weight control behaviors were assessed based on age groups using the 2010 KNHANES data. Methods: A total of 1,747 subjects were selected after eliminating those of likely changing their diet recently using the 2010 KNHANES data. The subjects were divided into 3 groups, self-underweight, self-normal, and self-obese according to their perception of body image. The BMI and weight control behaviors were assessed based on age groups according to the body image perception. Results: The younger, the higher ratio of underweight, women perceived their body size as normal or overweight. Exercise and reduced food intakes were dominant among various weight control methods but unhealthy methods were dominant among self perceived overweight group. Conclusions: Incorrect body image perception and unhealthy weight control behaviors can cause nutritional problems. Nutritional education should emphasize the importance of healthy weight and proper body image perception for Korean women.

본 연구는 츠카모토 신야의 영화 <철남>(1989)의 기계적-몸 이미지에 대한 연구로 탈인간화 하는 몸 그리고 욕망에 대한 해석을 시도 하였다. <철남>에서 살펴본 기계적-몸 이미지는 초현실주의적 이미지, 그로테스크적 이미지, 그리고 에로스적 이미지로 관찰되었다. 기계적-몸의 초현실주의적 이미지는 <철남>의 변화과정에서 보이는 변용, 파괴, 착란, 그리고 환상에 대한 과장으로 파악되었고, 그로테스크적 이미지는 인물의 일상적인 공간에서 기괴한 형태로의 변형으로 인간의 내재된 실체를 보여줌으로써 엽기성과 나약함이 혼합된 이미지로 관찰 되었다. 그리고 에로스적 이미지는 불완전한 존재가 완전함을 추구하고자 하는 욕망에 의해 스스로의 파괴와 재탄생을 이루는 과정에서 나타났다. 위의 세 가지 이미지 유형에 대한 분석은 세계정복을 꿈꾸는 과부화된 인간의 욕망이 탈인간화된 기계적-몸으로서 비유기체로의 시각화로 귀결된다.

This study was conducted to compare body shape satisfaction, body image perception, weight control status, and dietary habits of Korean and Chinese female high school students in order to provide information for proper body image perception of adolescents. 221 students in Yongin, a city in Korea, and 227 students in Weihai, a city in China, were surveyed using questionnaires. Body shape satisfaction was significantly higher in Chinese students (P < 0.001) compared to Korean students. 76.2% of Korean students and 72.7% of Chinese students wanted a thinner body shape than their present body shapes. Experiences of weight control, laxative or diuretics uses, eating during weight control, and vomiting after eating were significantly higher in Korean students (P < 0.05-P < 0.001) compared to Chinese students. The score for dietary habits was significantly higher in Chinese students (P < 0.001) compared to Korean students, suggesting a more desirable dietary habit among Chinese students. Students of both countries showed a significantly positive correlation between body shape satisfaction and dietary habits, suggesting that as body shape satisfaction increases, dietary habits become more desirable. In conclusion, Korean female students showed a more distorted body image perception and had more poor dietary habits than Chinese students. Nutritional education for the establishment of normal body weight, proper body image perception, and healthy dietary habits are needed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the degrees of body image, self esteem and Health Related Quality Of Life (HRQOL), and to identify factors related to these variables in patients with Crohn's disease. Methods: A descriptive cross sectional survey design was used. The 148 participants were the patients with Crohn's disease, recruited conveniently from one metropolitan hospital located in Seoul, Korea. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN program. Results: Patients with severe illness activity reported significantly lower body images than those of the others. Education levels and working states affected self-esteem positively, while the number of operations and illness activity affected self-esteem negatively. Hospitalization and illness activity affected HRQOL negatively. Body image, self esteem, and HRQOL were positively correlated to each other with statistical significance. Illness activity was a common factor to affect body image, self esteem, and HRQOL. Body image was an influential factor on HRQOL as well as illness activity in patients with Crohn's disease. Conclusion: As a result, this study suggested a necessity for developing an intervention study to lower the illness activity and heighten the body image among the patients with Crohn's disease.

The purpose of this study is to interpret the semantic actions of body image symbolized in body expression images shown by micro-influencers body profiles to understand the body profile phenomenon of the MZ generation. As a result of collecting body profile data from micro-influencers, the body profile image types of female influencers on SNS were classified into four types, Athletic, Slim body, Natural, and, Glamorous. Images representing each type were analyzed using the Roland Barthes' Myth model analysis frame. As a result of the semantic analysis, influencers were found to be very active and bold, emphasizing certain body parts according to the type of body image they pursue. Fashion is strategically used to emphasize these aspects. It was found that the ideology of a 'subjective modern woman' was commonly expressed through emphasis on visual signs. This study is meaningful in that it can indirectly lead to the understanding the fashion culture expressed by the MZ generation and provide consumer information and essential data that can be used for communication strategies in the fashion market.

This study examines the image management behavior according to self-monitoring, self-objectification of profile-based SNS users. Questionnaires were administered to 313 SNS users including both men and women in their 20s to 30s. The SPSS 25.0 package was utilized for data analysis, which included frequency analysis, factor analysis, Cronbach's ?, t-test, and regression analysis. The study analyzed self-monitoring in 2 groups (high, low), self-objectification for 2 factors (body surveillance, body shame), and image management behavior for 5 factors (fashion oriented, instrumentality, conformity, ostentation, interpersonal disposition). The results revealed: first, self-monitoring groups exhibited significant differences in self-objectification. The higher self-monitoring group was more influenced by body surveillance and body shame compared to the low self-monitoring group. Second, self-objectification had a positive influence on all the factors of image management behavior. Especially, body surveillance demonstrated a high influence on instrumentality and body shame showed a high influence on ostentation. Third, the self-monitoring groups showed significant differences in all the factors of image management behavior. The higher self-monitoring group demonstrated more influence of image management behavior compared to the low self-monitoring group. These results provide useful information in understanding the influence of social media on users' psychological attitude and consciousness toward their body and image management behavior.
