Abstract

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati međuodnose spola, perfekcionizma u tjelesnom izgledu, zadovoljstva tijelom, važnosti slike tijela, različitih strategija promjene tjelesnog izgleda i razine tjelesne aktivnosti. Istraživanje je provedeno online, 284 sudionika (65.1% žene), dobnog raspona od 18 do 66 godina (M = 31.6, SD = 12.25) koji su ispunili ljestvice Zadovoljstvo tijelom, Važnost slike tijela i Strategije promjene tjelesnog izgleda iz Inventara slike tijela i promjene tjelesnog izgleda (Ricciardelli i McCabe, 2002) te Ljestvicu perfekcionizma u tjelesnom izgledu (Yang i Stoeber, 2012). Rezultati pokazuju kako su tjelesno aktivne osobe češće muškarci nego žene, pridaju veću važnost slici tijela te češće primjenjuju strategije učvršćivanja i povećanja mišića od tjelesno neaktivnih osoba, dok razlike u zadovoljstvu tijelom, čestini primjene strategija mršavljenja i dobivanja na tjelesnoj težini te izraženosti pozitivnog i negativnog perfekcionizma nisu pronađene. Ženama je slika tijela važnija, imaju izraženiji negativni perfekcionizam u odnosu na muškarce te češće koriste strategije mršavljenja, a rjeđe strategije dobivanje na tjelesnoj težini i povećanja mišića, dok u zadovoljstvu tijelom, učestalosti korištenja strategije učvršćivanja mišića te izraženosti pozitivnog perfekcionizma nisu pronađene spolne razlike. Pozitivni perfekcionizam i važnost slike tijela pokazali su se kao statistički značajno pozitivni, a negativni perfekcionizam kao statistički značajno negativan prediktor zadovoljstva tijelom.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between gender, physical appearance perfectionism, body satisfaction, body image importance, different body change strategies and the level of physical activity. The study was conducted online with 284 participants (65.1% women), aged 18 to 66 years (M = 31.6, SD = 12.25). The following questionnaires were applied: Body Image Concern Scale, Body Image Importance Scale, Body Change Strategies from Body Image and Body Change Inventory (Ricciardelli and McCabe, 2002) and Physical Appearance Perfectionism Scale (Yang and Stoeber, 2012). The results show that men are more physically active. Physically active people give greater importance to their body image and use body change strategies to increase their muscle tone and muscle size more often than physically inactive people, but there was no difference in body satisfaction, body strategies to lose or increase weight and in positive and negative perfectionism between physically active and inactive people. Body image importance and negative perfectionism are more pronounced in women, and they use body change strategies to lose weight more often than men, while using body change strategies to increase weight and muscle size less often than men. No gender differences were found in body satisfaction, the frequency of using body change strategies to increase muscle tone, and in positive perfectionism. Positive perfectionism and body image importance showed as significant positive predictors of body satisfaction, while negative perfectionism showed as negative predictor.
