ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to investigate: (1) The differences on body image, sociocultural factors, and eating disorder among dancing department students with different demographic variables. (2) The relationship among body image, sociocultural factors, and eating disorder. (3) The predictive utility of body image and sociocultural factors on eating disorder. Four hundred and fifty six of dancing department students from seven colleges were recruited to participate in this study. Participants were asked to complete Multi-dimensional Body-Self Relation Questionnaire (MBSRQ), and Eating Attitudes Test-26(EAT-26). The results were as follows:
1. The results of one-way ANOVA and T-test indicated that: (1) Females got higher scores on weight concern, perceived weight classification, sociocultural factor influences(peers, media, and significant others), and eating disorders.(2) There were differences on body image among four training period groups. Dancers whose training period was over 10 years got higher scores on perceived weight classification than those training period was less than 10 years.(3) There was no difference on body image and eating disorders among four different majors. However, there were differences on peer influences and significant others of socioculture factors. Dancers who majored in modern dance got higher scores on peer and significant others influences than those who majored in ballet and folk dance.(4) There were differences on body image, peer influences and eating disorders among four body type groups. Dancers who were out of standard weight got higher scores on weight concern, peer and media influences than those who were under the standard weight. However, dancers who were under the standard weight got higher scores on oral control than those who were out of the standard weight. (5) Dancers who lost weight in nearly month got higher scores on appearance evaluation, body part satisfaction, peer influence, media influence, diet and oral control than those who didn’t lose weight in nearly month.
2. The results of Pearson correlation indicated that body image and sociocultural factors negatively correlated with eating disorder behaviors.
3. The results of multiple regression analysis indicated that eating disorders was positively predicted by weight concern.
Based on the findings of this study, suggestions for actual education settings and future directions were provided.
