Abstract

Osnovni cilj ovog istraţivanja bio je ispitati odnos izmeĎu indeksa tjelesne mase, zadovoljstva tijelom i subjektivne dobrobiti na populaciji studenata Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. U istraţivanju je sudjelovalo 416 studenata, u dobi od 18 do 29 godina, od kojih je 201 bilo ţenskog spola. Istraţivanje je provedeno putem online ankete. Indeks tjelesne mase se računao na temelju samoiskaza sudionika, dok je zadovoljstvo tijelom mjereno upitnikom „Zadovoljstvo tjelesnim izgledom za adolescente i odrasle“ koji se sastoji od tri podljestvice, a to su zadovoljstvo izgledom, zadovoljstvo teţinom i zadovoljstvo atribucijama. Subjektivna dobrobit mjerila se Skalom psihološkog procvata. PronaĎene su povezanosti izmeĎu indeksa tjelesne mase i mjera zadovoljstva tijelom na cjelokupnom uzorku i na ţenskom uzorku te su veće povezanosti pronaĎene kod ţena. Kod muškaraca je pronaĎena samo niska povezanost izmeĎu indeksa tjelesne mase i zadovoljstva teţinom. Povezanost izmeĎu subjektivne dobrobiti i mjera zadovoljstva tijelom pronaĎena je na svim uzorcima, ţenskom, muškom i cjelokupnom. Neočekivan rezultat bile su nešto veće povezanosti navedenih varijabli na muškom uzorku nego na ţenskom. IzmeĎu indeksa tjelesne mase i subjektivne dobrobiti nisu pronaĎene povezanosti. Značajan doprinos objašnjenju subjektivne dobrobiti, i kod muškaraca i kod ţena, imaju prediktori zadovoljstvo izgledom i zadovoljstvo atribucijama, samo što je doprinos tih dvaju prediktora podjednak kod muškaraca, dok kod ţena zadovoljstvo izgledom više doprinosi objašnjavanju subjektivne dobrobiti od zadovoljstva atribucijama.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between body mass index, body satisfaction and subjective well-being among university students. Research was conducted through online survey on 416 students of the University of Zagreb. Age of the students ranged between 18 and 29, and 201 students were female. Body mass index was calculated based on the information participants gave about their body weight and height, while body satisfaction was measured by Body-Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults which consists of three subscales: satisfaction with appearance, satisfaction with weight and satisfaction with attribution. Subjective well-being was measured by the Flourishing Scale. Analysis showed correlation between body mass index and body satisfaction measures on total sample and on the female sample. In the men sample only correlation between body mass index and satisfaction with weight was low and significant. The correlation between subjective well-being and body satisfaction subscales was found in all samples, female, male and total. Unexpectedly the greater correlations between these variables were found in male than in female sample. On the other hand, no correlation was observed between body mass index and the subjective well-being. Satisfaction with appearance and satisfaction with attribution both significantly contributed to explaining subjective well-being, both in men and women. The only difference was that the contribution of those two predictors was simmilar in the men sample, while in women's sample satisfaction with appearance contributed more to explaining well-being.
