Abstract

Objective Research has shown that social factors like peer networks and screen time exposure have a critical role in personal perceptions of weight. This study examined the relationships between television, computer/video games exposure, unstructured socializing (UnS), perceived resilience (PR), self-perceived overweight (SPO), and misperceptions of overweight (MO) in early adulthood. Method Data were obtained from Add Health, a public use sample of 2033 men and 2336 women 18–26 years old (M = 21.81 years; SD = 1.80). Binary logistic regression was used for all data analyses. Hesmer-Lemeshow and Wald test statistics were reported to compare binary logit models. Nagelkerke pseudo-R2 was computed for effect sizes. Results The results showed that TV had a positive effect on SPO and MO. Gender-specific patterns were found in SPO and MO that women were more likely to overestimate their weight than men, and men were more likely to have MO compared to women. The results yielded that the effect of PR on SPO is significant at .001 level. The moderator effect of PR was statistically significant only for the relationship between computer/video games exposure and SPO. Conclusion Reducing TV exposure might be a protective factor to prevent weight misperceptions. Further studies are needed to examine the effects of low, moderate, and high levels of leisure-based ST and gender-specific resilience strength programs on weight misperceptions.

摘要

客观研究表明，同伴网络和屏幕时间暴露等社会因素在个人对体重的看法中起着至关重要的作用。本研究探讨了成年早期电视、电脑/视频游戏曝光、非结构化社交 (UnS)、感知复原力 (PR)、自我感知超重 (SPO) 和对超重 (MO) 的误解之间的关系。方法 数据来自 Add Health，这是一个包含 2033 名 18-26 岁男性和 2336 名女性的公共使用样本（M = 21.81 岁；SD = 1.80）。二元逻辑回归用于所有数据分析。据报道，Hesmer-Lemeshow 和 Wald 检验统计数据用于比较二元 logit 模型。计算了 Nagelkerke 伪 R2 的效应大小。结果结果表明TV对SPO和MO有积极影响。在 SPO 和 MO 中发现了特定于性别的模式，即女性比男性更容易高估自己的体重，与女性相比，男性更有可能患有 MO。结果表明，PR 对 SPO 的影响在 0.001 水平上显着。PR 的调节效应仅对计算机/视频游戏曝光与 SPO 之间的关系具有统计学意义。结论 减少电视曝光可能是防止体重误解的保护因素。需要进一步的研究来检验低、中和高水平的基于休闲的 ST 和特定性别的弹性强度计划对体重误解的影响。PR 的调节效应仅对计算机/视频游戏曝光与 SPO 之间的关系具有统计学意义。结论 减少电视曝光可能是防止体重误解的保护因素。需要进一步的研究来检验低、中和高水平的基于休闲的 ST 和特定性别的弹性强度计划对体重误解的影响。PR 的调节效应仅对计算机/视频游戏曝光与 SPO 之间的关系具有统计学意义。结论 减少电视曝光可能是防止体重误解的保护因素。需要进一步的研究来检验低、中和高水平的基于休闲的 ST 和特定性别的弹性强度计划对体重误解的影响。
