Studies on Chinese Physical Self and Eating Behavior: A Decade Review

Abstract

Abstract: During the past 10 years, a substantial body of theory and empirical has been generated on the Chinese physical self and eating behavior. In a series of initial studies, we developed and validated self-report scales designed to measure dimensions of the Chinese physical self and eating behavior. Second, we proposed the concept of a negative physical self(NPS)and tested the hypothesis that negative physical self-schema guide information processing related to body information in groups having specific body image concerns. Third, both cross-sectional and longitudinal research were conducted, respectively, to identify correlates of and risk factors for the development of a negative physical self concept and elevations in eating disorder symptom in samples of adolescent and young adult Chinese females and males in addition to cognitive biases in restrained eaters, and intervention for students struggling with body image problems. Finally, brain mechanism underlying the processing of food and physical attractiveness cues have been explored in samples with a negative physical self concept, restrained eating, binge-eating disturbances, or bulimia nervosa.

Key words: physical self, eating behaviour, negative physical self-schema, restrained eating, risk factors, information processing, brain mechanisms.

摘要： 最近十年，国内学者对中国人身体自我和饮食行为进行了理论和实证上的本土化探索，主要涉及对中国化身体自我和饮食行为测量工具的研制，身体自我的结构和特点；提出了“负面身体自我图式”概念和“负面身体图式指导负面身体自我者的认知加工”的重要观点，对该认知加工机制进行了一系列实验研究；探讨了负面身体自我形成的影响因素、预测模型；探讨了限制性饮食者的认知加工偏好、饮食失调人群的特点和学生超重的干预模式；初步探讨了负面身体自我注意偏好、限制性饮食者及饮食失调亚群对食物线索加工的脑机制。
