Abstract

This study examined a model of the associations among self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, and the drive for muscularity among Jamaican male weight lifters, and compared model relationships between weight lifters from rural and urban areas of residence. Using a purposive sampling approach, cross-sectional data were collected from 225 male weight lifters, ages 18-67 years (M = 28.16, SD = 9.52), from gyms in rural and urban areas of Jamaica. Participants completed the Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale (RSE), the Body Areas Satisfaction Scale (BASS), and the Drive for Muscularity Scale (DMS). Results from path analysis indicated that self-esteem exerted a negative direct effect on body dissatisfaction (β = -0.32, p < .001). The direct effect of self-esteem on the drive for muscularity was negative and non-significant (β= -0.10, p = .172), however, body dissatisfaction exerted a positive direct effect on the drive for muscularity (β = 0.27, p = .001). Self-esteem exerted a negative indirect effect on the drive for muscularity through body dissatisfaction (β = -0.09, 95% CI [-0.16, -0.03]). Model relationships remained similar across both rural and urban weight lifting subgroups. These results highlight self-esteem and body dissatisfaction as contributors to the drive for muscularity among Jamaican male weight lifters, with the role of self-esteem being primarily indirect by way of body dissatisfaction.

男人与肌肉牙买加举重运动员在追求肌肉发达过程中的自尊和对身体的不满意。

本研究探讨了牙买加男性举重运动员的自尊、身体不满意度和肌肉驱动力之间的关联模型，并比较了居住在农村和城市地区的举重运动员之间的模型关系。通过有目的的抽样方法，我们从牙买加农村和城市地区的健身房收集了 225 名男性举重运动员的横截面数据，他们的年龄在 18-67 岁之间（男 = 28.16，女 = 9.52）。参与者填写了罗森伯格自尊量表（RSE）、身体部位满意度量表（BASS）和肌肉驱动力量表（DMS）。路径分析结果表明，自尊对身体不满意度有负向直接影响（β = -0.32，p = .172），但身体不满意度对肌肉感驱动力有正向直接影响（β = 0.27，p = .001）。自尊通过身体不满意度对肌肉发达驱动力产生负向间接影响（β = -0.09，95% CI [-0.16，-0.03]）。模型关系在农村和城市举重亚组中保持相似。这些结果突出表明，自尊和身体不满意是牙买加男性举重运动员追求肌肉发达的原因，而自尊的作用主要是通过身体不满意间接产生的。

期刊介绍： Psychology, Health & Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal highlighting human factors in health. The journal provides a peer reviewed forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. This key publication reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings and exploring multiple health and illness issues from theoretical, practical and management perspectives. It provides a critical forum to examine the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention. The journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention, quality of life, adjustment adaptation and management. For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge, illness experience, wellbeing and health care practice.
