情绪智力在身体自尊与进食障碍倾向间的调节作用

The Moderating Effect of Emotional Intelligence in the Relationship Between Body-Esteem and Eating Disorder Tendency

采取整群抽样对1043名中学生进行问卷调查,主要探讨身体自尊、情绪智力与青少年进食障碍倾向之间的关系,检验情绪智力的调节作用。结果表明:(1) BMI、性别、年级和年龄均是青少年进食障碍倾向的预测因素。(2)青少年身体自尊负向预测其进食障碍倾向。(3)青少年情绪智力在身体自尊和进食障碍倾向之间起调节作用,具体来说,无论情绪智力高低,青少年身体自尊均显著预测其进食障碍倾向,然而,相对于高情绪智力被试,低情绪智力被试的身体自尊对其进食障碍倾向的预测力更大。

To explore the relationship between emotional intelligence, body-esteem and eating disorder tendency among adolescents,especially to examine the moderating effect of emotional intelligence, a cluster sampling method was used to investigate 1043 middle school students. The results showed that: 1) BMI, gender, grade and age were all predictors of adolescent eating disorder tendency;2)body-esteem negatively predicted eating disorder tendency among adolescents;moreover, 3) adolescents’ emotional intelligence moderated the relationship between body-esteem and eating disorder tendency. Specifically, adolescents’ body-esteem negatively predicted their eating disorder tendency, regardless of their emotional intelligence. However, compared with those with high emotional intelligence, the body-esteem of participants with low emotional intelligence was more predictive of their eating disorder tendency.
