초록

본 연구는 마른 이상적 체형의 내면화 및 신체비교가 이상섭식행동에 미치는 영향에 있어서 신체 수치심의 매개효과 검증을 목적으로 하였다. 이를 위해 대전․충남 지역의 여대생들을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여, 최종적으로 280부의 자료를 분석하였다. 평가도구로는 한국판 식사태도검사(KEAT-26), 마른 이상적 체형의 내면화척도(Sociocultural Attitudes toward Appearance Scale; SATAS), 신체비교 척도(Physical Appearance Comparison Scale; PACS, Specific Attributes Comparison Scale; SACS), 신체 수치심 척도(The Objectified Body Consciousness Scale)를 사용하였다. 수집된 자료는 PASW 18.0 프로그램을 활용하여 분석의 목적에 따라 상관분석과 중다회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 첫째, 마른 이상적 체형의 내면화 및 신체비교는 이상섭식행동 및 신체 수치심과 유의한 정적인 상관을 보였으며, 신체 수치심과 이상섭식행동에서도 유의한 정적인 상관을 보였다. 둘째, 마른 이상적 체형의 내면화 및 신체비교가 이상섭식행동에 미치는 영향을 신체 수치심이 부분 매개하는 것으로 나타났다. 이 결과는 일상생활에서 발생되는 이상섭식요인들뿐 아니라 올바른 신체상과 자신에게 맞는 적절한 체중에 대한 기대가 섭식장애나 비만자들을 위한 프로그램에 활용될 수 있음을 시사한다. 관련 논의와 향후 연구에 대한 제안점 등을 논의하였다.

The aim of this research is to verify the mediated effects of body shame when thin-ideal internalization and physical comparison affect disordered eating behavior. For this research, a survey was conducted targeting female undergraduates of K-university in Chung-Nam and Dae-Jeon, South Korea. Data of 280 undergraduates were analyzed. In order to sort out female undergraduates who have a possibility of disordered eating behavior, the Korean Eating Attitude Test-26 (KEAT-26) was used which have been standardized what Garner and Garfinkel developed and amended. To measure the internalization of thin-ideal internalization, Sociocultural Attitudes toward Appearance Scale (SATAS) was used, which was a test that Jung-Shin Moon has adapted from what Cusumano and Thompson developed. To measure the physical comparison, Physical Appearance Comparison Scale(PACS), which was a test that Eun-Jung Son has adapted what Tantleff developed, and Specific Attributes Comparison Scale(SACS), which was a test that Eun-Jung Son adapted what Tiggermann and Mcgill developed, were used. To measure body shame, eight questions regarding body shame from the Objectified Body Consciousness Scale, developed by Mickinley and Hyde, were used, which were a test that Eun-Jung Son has adapted. A correlation analysis and a multiple regression analysis were conducted by the PASW 18.0 program using collected data. The consequences of this research are follows: First, thin-ideal internalization and physical comparison had a significantly positive correlation with disordered eating behavior, as well as with body shame. Body shame, also, had a significantly positive correlation with disordered eating behavior. These consequences show that disordered eating behaviors of female undergraduates could increase due to body shame particularly when they have a high level of thin-ideal internalization and physical comparison. Second, the body shame was partially mediated between the thin-ideal internalization and physical comparison and the disordered eating behavior. Consequently, it is crucial to decrease the level of thin-ideal internalization and physical comparison, however first step is to educate females about their physical appearance so that they can decrease the level of body shame, which implies that eating disorder caused by disordered eating behavior can finally decrease. Likewise, further discussion and proposals for following researches are proposed.
