서울지역 청소년의 외모만족과 자아존중감이 비만스트레스에 미치는 영향: 잠재변인을 사용한 모델 검증

초록

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of body appearance satisfaction(BAS) and the self-esteem on the obesity stress(OS). A survey sample drawn from the total of 664 middle school students(324 of females and 340 of males) were analyzed with the suggested conceptual model by employing the latent variables such as BAS and OS. By using the AMOS statistical program, we found that the conceptual model fitted well with the data set and paths in the model significantly predicted the OS. The middle schoolers' BAS had significant direct effects on the OS and self-esteem as well as a indirect effect via self-esteem on the OS. Self-esteem had a significant direct effect on the OS which was larger than the total effects from BAS on OS. Therefore, self-esteem could be buffered the negative influences from the BAS on the OS.
