This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between body image and BMI with satisfaction of own body image, snack intake practices, food intake practices and weight control practices of 226 female college students in Jeonbuk province using questionnaire. The results were summarized as follows : 1. The average height, weight and BMI was 162.08cm, 52.02kg and 19.78, respectively. The average ideal body weight of the subjects was 48.92kg. Ninety percent of the subjects was dissatisfied with their body image. The degree of dissatisfaction was higher in the group who recognized themselves as fat. Most of subjects wanted to lose weight, but as the group having a recognition of thin body image significantly wanted to gain weight (p<0.001). 2. The subjects preferred fruits and juices for snack. The more subjects recognized themselves as fat, the more they restricted snack intake (p<0.05). 3. The rate of skipping meal tends to increase. The subjects did not intake balanced meals and skipped breakfast most (20.7%). The number of food groups taken at breakfast, lunch and dinner was 1.84, 2.25 and 2.55, respectively and the most variable food groups were taken at dinner(p<0.001). Dairy food group intake was low. The duration of meal time was longer in the underweight group by BMI regardless of body image recognition (p<0.05). 4. The weight controlling method was concentrated mostly on decreasing food intake. The more subjects recognized themselves as fat, the more they tried to control weight (p<0.001). Even though 59.5% of the subjects with no weight control experience had no future weight control plans, 50% of the group who recognized themselves as normal or fat did not want to control weight in the future (p<0.01). These results suggest that nutrition education programs and correction programs of food behaviors and weight control should start from focusing on the accurate recognition of body image for college female students.

미국내 9살과 14살 사이의 여학생과 어머니와의 관계가 여학생의 신체이미지와 육체만족도(Body Satisfaction)에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구이다. 총 41쌍의 여학생과 어머니가 미국의 노스 캐로라이나에 위치한 $[TC^2]$에 의뢰하여 리쿠르트 되었다. 참가자들은 우선 미국 질병관리 및 방지국(CDC)의 자료를 바탕으로 그들의 BMI 점수를 바탕으로 보통체중과 과체중으로 나누어졌다. Stunkard, Sorenson, and Schulsinger (1983)의 9개의 신체이미지 그림을 사용하여 어머니와 딸의 각자의 이상화된 신체이미지(Ideal Body Image), 상대방의 이상화된 신체이미지, 각자의 신체에 대한 만족도, 그리고 서로의 신체에 대한 만족도를 연구하였다. 논의 및 결론부분으로 과체중 여학생과 그들의 어머니의 서로간의 신체이미지 만족도가 보통체중의 여학생과 그들의 어머니의 신체이미지 만족도에 비해 현저히 낮았고, 상대방에 대한 신체이미지 만족도 또한 현저히 낮았다.

Current studies validate the Body Positive Scale (BP Scale) as a self-assessment instrument that captures four dimensions of the positive body image construct. We developed and evaluated a 17-item BP Scale using two focus group interviews and four independent samples (n = 1,379) of Korean women who completed online survey questionnaires. We generated an initial pool of items via literature review, content validation with experts, and focus group interviews, subsequently refining the items through exploratory analysis (Study 1). We confirmed the BP Scale's underlying dimensions with young Korean female samples (Study 2, Study 4) and with a community sample (Study 3). We also examined the construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability over a six-week interval. Overall, the results supported that the four-factor BP Scale demonstrates adequate validity and reliability in measuring positive body image among Korean women. The BP Scale provides a method for researchers and practitioners to understand and assess individuals' positive body image in a multifaceted manner.
