國中生網路使用、網路纖瘦意象暴露、身體意象與不健康體重控制行為相關之研究

Abstract

本研究旨在探討國中生網路使用、網路纖瘦意象暴露、身體意象與不健康體重控制行為之研究，研究對象為臺北市、宜蘭縣國中七年級至九年級學生，分析102年蒐集1,569名學生自填問卷，結果如下： 一、受測學生近二成曾經看過談論極端瘦身網站，約有三成五有不健康體重控制行為。 二、受測學生的網路使用時間、社群網站、線上影音使用與網路纖瘦意象暴露呈顯著相關。 三、受測學生的網路纖瘦意象暴露與體重過重關注及身體不滿意度呈顯著相關。 四、複回歸分析結果顯示，女生、肥胖、社群網站使用與網路纖瘦意象暴露較多，看過談論極端瘦身網站，較在意自己體重，對身體較不滿意者較易有不健康的體重控制行為。

This study aims to examine the relationships between Internet use, thin-ideal media exposure, body image and unhealthy weight control behaviors among junior high school students. Participants were seventh to ninth grade students in Taipei City and Yilan County. A total of 1569 students completed a self-administrated questionnaire in 2013. The results were as follows. 1. About 20% of students visited extreme weight loss websites in the past year, while 35% of students reported unhealthy weight control behaviors. 2. The time students spend on the Internet, social networks, and online audio/video streaming were significantly correlated with thin-ideal media exposure. 3. Students’ thin-ideal media exposure was correlated with body weight concern and body dissatisfaction. 4. Multiple regression analysis showed that students who were female, obese, exposed to thin media images, used social media frequently, visited extreme weight loss websites and had greater weight concern and body dissatisfaction were more likely to have unhealthy weight control behaviors.
