객체화 신체의식과 신체존중감, 자기해석의 관계: 한국·중국·일본 여대생 비교 = Objectified Body Consciousness, Body-Esteem and Self-Construals in East Asian Women: A Cross-National Study on Korean, Chinese, and Japanese College Students

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study investigated the validity of the objectified body-consciousness scale(OBCS) and the relationship between OBC, body-esteem, and independent-interdependent self-construal based on the survey data drawn from female college students in three East Asian countries: Korea, Japan, and China. 160 Korean, 140 Japanese, and 90 Chinese female college students responded to questions designed to measure OBC, body-esteem, and self-construals. The results showed that OBC factor structure in Korean sample is the same as the original OBC structure. However, in the Chinese and Japanese samples, the OBC factor structure is same as the original one, but specific items are somewhat different from the original OBC items. This means that some items of sub-factor are not an appropriate for Japanese and Chinese in its current form. OBC sub-factors, body surveillance, shame, and control beliefs are correlated to body-esteem. There are significant negative correlations between shame and both appearance esteem and weight esteem, but none of the OBC sub-dimensions is non-significant correlation with bodily function esteem. Body surveillance, shame, and control beliefs are correlated to self-construals. Interdependent self-construal shows a significant positive correlations with body surveillance and shame, but has a significant negative correlation with control beliefs. Overall, these results revealed that females' OBC is affected by interdependent self-construal. Furthermore, the results supported the assertion that different socio-cultural, political, and economic contexts in the three nations are related to the different OBC structure and body-esteem level among female college students.
