Resumo(s)
The aim of this study was to explore the differences in patterns of risk factors for body
dissatisfaction and disordered eating attitudes in both female and male adolescents from
Portugal and Spain. The sample included 455 adolescents aged 12-16 years (M = 13.28,
SD = 0.65) from two urban areas of each country. Body mass index, self-reported selfesteem, perfectionism, internalisation of sociocultural ideals, body dissatisfaction and
disordered eating attitudes were assessed. Path analyses provided partial support for a
cross-cultural model of body dissatisfaction and disordered eating in Western countries
due to the presence of certain differences in the patterns of relationships across sex and
country. The findings suggest the importance not only of identifying cultural specificities,
even in “neighbouring” countries, but also of developing a global and comprehensive
preventive approach that focuses on the influence of the ideal of beauty transmitted by
Western societies.
