대학생의 신체수치심과 직관적 섭식과의 관계

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the mediating effect of dietary restraint in the relationship between body shame and intuitive eating among college students. The participants included 364 college students (239 males and 125 females), and data were collected by using online questionnaires assessing body shame, dietary restraint, and intuitive eating. Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses were conducted separately for males and females using SPSS 23.0, and the mediating effects were analyzed using Process Macro Model 4. The results are as follows. First, body shame and dietary restraint both had a significant impact on intuitive eating. Second, dietary restraint had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between body shame and intuitive eating. Third, there were no gender differences in the effect of body shame on intuitive eating, mediated by dietary restraint. The significance of this study is that it confirmed the impact of body shame and dietary restraint on intuitive eating and found that there were no gender differences in men as well as women. In the future, it will be necessary to expand the research subjects to include general adults and clinical groups and conduct experimental and longitudinal studies that can measure the relationship between variables for intuitive eating more precisely.
