Dysmorphic appearance concern among Chinese adolescents and emerging adults
Objective
The primary aim of this study was to examine age-related patterns of dysmorphic appearance concern from adolescence through adulthood.
Method
In the current study, 4,919 (3,165 women, 1,754 men) Chinese adolescents and adults (ages 15–24) were recruited to complete the Body Image Concern Inventory (BICI) to assess dysmorphic appearance concern.
Results
A quadratic relationship between age and dysmorphic appearance concern was observed for each sex, with dysmorphic appearance concern peaking at 20 years old. Women generally had higher levels of dysmorphic appearance concern than men, but the gender difference was mainly driven by more safety behaviors among women. Women residing in an urban area scored higher on the BICI than their counterparts living in a rural area. Psychological distress accounted for 14.7% and 17.0% of the variance in dysmorphic appearance concern among men and women, respectively, over and above the influence of age and BMI.
Discussion
Findings of the study suggest dysmorphic appearance concern is common among male and female adolescents and emerging adults in China. Prevention programs focused on addressing dysmorphic appearance concern should be provided to young adolescents to reduce the negative impacts of this symptomology.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
