The respondents included 242 Korean and 145 American female student volunteers, aged 18 to 27, who were enrolled at Kwangju and Catholic University and Cornell University in the United States. The questionnaire was composed of three sections; a body cathexis, perceived body shape-self, perceived body shape-ideal. Twenty items of 30 items showed a significant difference between Korean and American women. Korean student females were more dissatisfied with 20 items than American women. Even though Korean women were smaller in body build than the American women, the Korean women were more negative about their large type, shoulder, hands, arms, hips, neck, face, and skin color than the American women. There were many significant differences between perceived body shape-self and perceived body shape-ideal responses for Korean and American respondents.

A self-report questionnaire was used, and the summary of the results are as follows : Almost all of the surveyed female college students were in criteria of standard weight, however they regard themselves more obese than what their actual body shape normally shows. The correlation between perceived body shape and the eating attitude influenced by an eating disorder turned out to be high(p<0.001). The significant level of correlation between the perceived body shape and the eating attitude test-26(EAT-26) scores showed much higher than that obtained between actual shape, degree of obesity and eating attitude test-26(EAT 26) scores(p<0.001). There was no significant level of correlation between the defree of obesity and the average score of nutritional knowledge obtained out of the total questionnaire, however it showed significant level of correlation between macronutrient and roughage(p<0.05), fat and calorie requirement(p<0.01).

본 연구의 목적은 청소년의 신체상, 체질량지수, 체형인식, 외모스트레스 및 자기역량지각의 정도를 파악하고 각 변수들이 청소년의 신체상에 영향을 미치는 요인을 규명하는데 있다. 자료수집은 2017년 3월 15일부터 3월 29일까지였으며, J시에 소재한 3개 중학교에 재학 중인 청소년을 대상으로 편의 추출하였으며, 140부를 최종 분석에 사용하였다. 자료분석은 SPSS Statistics 20.0 프로그램을 이용하여 기술통계, t-test, ANOVA, 피어슨 상관관계, 다중회귀분석을 통해 분석하였다. 분석결과 청소년의 신체상은 체형인식, 외모스트레스, 자기역량지각과 유의미한 상관관계가 있었다. 다중회귀분석결과 신체상에 영향을 미치는 요인은 자기역량지각과 성별이었으며, 이들의 설명력은 21%였다(F=10.25, p<.001). 따라서 청소년의 올바른 신체상 확립을 위해 융복합적 자기역량지각강화프로그램을 개발하고 그 효과를 검증하는 연구가 필요하다.
