Body Checking bei Frauen mit hohen und niedrigen Figur- und Gewichtssorgen

Arousal und negative emotionale Valenz im Verlauf einer Kontrollverhaltens-Episode

Published Online:May 20, 2020https://doi.org/10.1026/1616-3443/a000547

Abstract

Zusammenfassung.Theoretischer Hintergrund: Gemäß Theorien zu Essstörungen ist die Aufrechterhaltung von Body Checking (BC)-Verhalten mit zwei divergierenden kognitiv-affektiven Prozessen assoziiert, d. h. Anstieg an Arousal versus Abnahme negativer emotionaler Valenz. Fragestellung: Ziel ist die Replikation einer Online-Studie zur Untersuchung, ob BC mit beiden postulierten Prozessen einhergeht und welche Relevanz die subjektive Attraktivität der kontrollierten Körperpartien hierbei hat. Methode: 125 Frauen mit hohen versus niedrigen Figur- und Gewichtssorgen schätzten ihr Level an Arousal und negativer emotionaler Valenz in erinnerten BC-Episoden der subjektiv unattraktivsten und attraktivsten Körperpartien ein. Ergebnisse: Nur bei Frauen mit hohen Figur- und Gewichtssorgen in BC-Episoden der subjektiv unattraktivsten Körperpartien traten sowohl ein Anstieg an Arousal als auch eine Abnahme negativer emotionaler Valenz ein. Schlussfolgerungen: Beide postulierten Prozesse wurden nachgewiesen.


Body Checking in Women with High and Low Shape and Weight Concerns. Arousal and Negative Emotional Valence in the Course of a Checking-Behavior Episode

Abstract.Background: According to theories of eating disorders, the maintenance of body checking (BC) behavior is associated with two divergent cognitive-affective processes, i. e. increases in arousal versus decreases in negative emotional valence. Objective: To replicate an online study investigating whether BC is associated with both postulated processes and examining the relevance of the subjective attractiveness of the controlled body parts. Methods: 125 women with high versus low shape and weight concerns rated their level of arousal and negative emotional valence in remembered BC episodes of subjectively most unattractive and attractive body parts. Results: Increases in arousal and decreases in negative emotional valence only occurred in highly concerned women in BC episodes of subjectively most unattractive body parts. Conclusions: Both postulated processes were confirmed.
