초록

본 연구는 섭식장애 유병률이 가장 높게 나타나는 초기 성인기 여성을 대상으로 이들의 이상섭식 행동과 물질주의 그리고 기존 미디어 소비에 비해 적극적이지만 병리적인 미디어 소비 형태인 연예인 숭배와의 관련성을 검증하기 위해 실시되었다. 구체적으로 본 연구에서는 초기 성인기 여성의 물질주의 추구와 이상섭식행동의 관계에서 연예인 숭배와 외모에 대한 사회문화적 규범의 내재화가 순차적으로 매개할 것이라 가정하였다. 이를 검증하기 위해 서울 소재 대학에서 모집한 초기 성인기 여성 601명을 대상으로 설문을 실시하였고 그 결과 본 연구의 가설은 지지되었다. 초기 성인기 여성의 물질주의 추구 성향이 높을수록 연예인을 병리적으로 추구하는 경향성이 커지고, 병리적 연예인 숭배 경향성이 클수록 외모에 대한 사회문화적 규범을 더 내재화하여 결국 사회문화적으로 인정받는 규범으로서의 외모에 도달하기 위해 자신의 신체를 통제하려는 시도인 이상섭식행동을 더 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 초기 성인기 여성의 이상섭식행동을 사회문화적 변인인 물질주의와 연예인 숭배를 통해 설명하여 이상섭식행동을 여성 개인 내적 문제로 접근하기보다 하나의 사회문화적 현상으로 접근한 의의가 있다.

Abstract

The present study aimed to understand young adult women’s disordered eating symptoms with materialism and pathological celebrity worship. Specifically, we hypothesized that pathological celebrity worship and internalization of sociocultural attitudes towards appearance would mediate the relationship between materialism and disordered eating symptoms among young adult women. A total of 601 female college students participated in this study. As hypothesized, we found that materialism predicted pathological celebrity worship and increased internalization of sociocultural attitudes towards appearance, which in turn, led to a higher level of disordered eating symptoms. Our findings suggest that young adult women’s disordered eating behaviors should be understood as a sociocultural phenomenon rather than as an individual woman’s personal issue.
