本研究目的是瞭解青少年體型意識與節制飲食行為。以台灣地區國小六年級及國中一、二、三年級學生為研究對象，抽取國中19校、國小8校，有效樣本822份。研究工具為「青少年體型意識與節制飲食行為量表」，包含「個人背景資料」、「多向度身體和自我關係量表」、「三因子飲食量表」、「體型受嘲笑經驗量表」四部份。研究結果發現，不論實際體型為何，多數青少男期望正常體型，而多數青少女期望較瘦之體型。影響青少年體型意識主要因素為體型受嘲笑經驗。另外，是否崇拜偶像身材、未來想從事之活動與體型有關也具影響力。實際體型過重之青少年、自覺變「瘦」壓力越大者、會崇拜偶像身材者，特別是青少女，為容易有體型意識困擾者。影響青少年是否採取節制飲食行為之重要因素為個人對過重關注之程度。當青少年實際過重且自覺過重、希望減少之體重越多、體型受嘲笑經驗越多者，他們傾向高度節制飲食。過度外表取向、自覺體重過重、期望體型變瘦之青少女，傾向藉由高度節制飲食，以降低或維持體重來達到理想體型；值得注意的是，她們較可能發生飲食失控，並在未來較有可能成為異常飲食行為者。

Study of the Body Image and Dietary Restraint in AdolescenceAbstractThe purpose of this study is to understand adolescent's body image and dietary restraint. A total of 822 students from 19 junior high schools and 8 elementary schools completed self-administered Adolescent's Body Image and Dietary Restraint Questionnaire which included demographic variables, The Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ), Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ), and Body Shape Related Teasing Scale.Results indicated that, in spite of actual body shape, the majority of adolescent boys expected normal body figure, and adolescent girls excepted slim body figure. Teasing exprience, adoration of model's figure and interest in career related to body figure have significant influence on adolecent's body image. Body image disturbances are more likely to occur on overweight adolescence especially girls, and those who perceived pressure for thinness or adored idol's body figure. Overweight preoccupation is a significant factor of dietary restraint. Overweight adolescence is who perceived himself / herself as fat, wish to lose more weight or had more teasing experience, had higher degree of restrained eating. Adolescent girls who overconcern body shape and weight, perceived herself as fat and expected to be thin, tend to have higher degree of dietary restraint in order to maintain or achieve the ideal figure. They are at risk of disinhibition, and more likely to become eating disorders in the furture.
