Resumo(s)
Com este trabalho pretendeu-se verificar a influência do conhecimento e internalização
dos ideais socioculturais, em relação à aparência física, e da insatisfação com a imagem corporal,
no comportamento alimentar de adolescentes de ambos os sexos, que frequentam
Estabelecimentos Militares de Ensino e Estabelecimentos Não Militares de Ensino. Procurou-se
também perceber se as variáveis idade, IMC, insatisfação com a imagem corporal, conhecimento
e internalização dos ideais socioculturais em relação à aparência física, assumem um valor
preditivo quanto aos comportamentos alimentares perturbados, nos adolescentes de ambos os
tipos de estabelecimentos de ensino. Para tal, foi aplicado um Questionário de Dados Pessoais e
Sócio-demográficos, o Eating Attitudes Test-26 (Garner, Olmsted, Bohr, & Garfinkel, 1982), a
Contour Drawing Rating Scale (Thompson & Gray, 1995) e o Sociocultural Attitudes towards
Appearance Questionnaire-Revised (Heinberg, Thompson, & Stormer, 1995) a 875 alunos de
oito estabelecimentos portugueses de ensino (três estabelecimentos militares de ensino e cinco
estabelecimentos não militares de ensino). Os resultados apontam para uma maior incidência de
comportamentos alimentares perturbados nos estabelecimentos militares de ensino. Contudo, a
influência do conhecimento e internalização dos ideais socioculturais em relação à aparência
física nos comportamentos alimentares perturbados, apenas se verificou para os alunos dos
estabelecimentos não militares de ensino. Neste trabalho a insatisfação com a imagem corporal e
o sexo são as únicas variáveis preditoras de comportamentos alimentares perturbados na amostra
dos estabelecimentos militares de ensino. Discutem-se algumas limitações, possíveis implicações
para a intervenção e pistas de investigação.
The purpose of this work was to assert the influence of the knowledge and internalization of social and cultural ideals regarding an ideal physical appearance, and the body image dissatisfaction , in eating behavior of adolescents of both sexes, attending both military and nonmilitary educational facilities. It was also relevant to understand if such variables as age, body mass index, body image dissatisfaction , knowledge and internalization of sociocultural ideals concerning the ideal physical appearance, retain a predictable value, when dealing with disturbed eating behaviors in adolescents attending both types of educational facilities. To achieve such goal, it has been applied a Personal, Social and Demographical Data Questionnaire, the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (Garner, Olmsted, Bohr, & Garfinkel, 1982), the Contour Drawing Rating Scale (Thompson & Gray, 1995) and the Sociocultural Attitudes towards Appearance Questionnaire-Revised (Heinberg, Thompson, & Stormer, 1995) to 875 students of eight Portuguese educational facilities (three military and five non-military). The results point towards a greater incidence of disturbed eating behaviors in military educational facilities. However, the influence of the knowledge and internalization of socioculturalideals regarding an ideal physical appearance, in disturbed eating behaviors has only been verified for students attending nonmilitary educational facilities. In this work the body image dissatisfaction and the gender of subjects are the only predicting variables of disturbed eating behaviors in the sample of military educational facilities. Some limitations are discussed, along with their potential implications in interventions and investigation leads.
