0038/2019 - Disordered eating and body change behaviours: Support for the Tripartite Influence Model among Brazilian male university students. Comportamentos de risco para transtornos alimentares e de mudança corporal: Suporte ao Modelo dos Três Fatores para adultos brasileiros.
O modelo de influência dos três fatores indica que as influência socioculturais, mediada pela internalização e a comparação social, são preditoras de comportamentos de risco para transtornos alimentares e comportamentos de mudança corporal. O presente estudo teve como objetivo testar o Modelo de Influência dos Três Fatores para jovens adultos brasileiros, uma vez que o mesmo ainda não foi testado neste contexto. Setecentos e sete homens (Midade = 23.98 anos, DP = 4.07), jovens universitários das cinco regiões brasileiras, responderam a instrumentos de avaliação das influências socioculturais, internalização, comparação social, insatisfação com o corpo e com a muscularidade, comportamentos de risco para transtornos alimentares e comportamentos de mudança corporal. Análise por meio de Modelagem de Equações Estruturais demonstrou adequados índices de ajustamento do modelo (?²(2790) = 10548.421; p = .0001; ?²/df = 3.78; CFI = .79; PCFI = .75; RMSEA = .064 [90% CI = .062-.065]). As influências dos pais foram associadas com a internalização, enquanto as influências dos pares com a comparação social. Influência da mídia demonstrou associação tanto com a internalização quanto com a comparação social. A internalização e a comparação social são variáveis mediadoras que se relacionam com a insatisfação corporal e insatisfação com a muscularidade. Por fim, a insatisfação com a muscularidad

Abstract:
The Tripartite Influence Model posits that sociocultural influences mediated by internalization and social comparison are predictors of disordered eating and body change behaviours. This study aimed to test the Tripartite Influence Model among Brazilian male university students, which has not been tested yet. Seven hundred seven (N = 707) males (Mage = 23.98 years, SD = 4.07), undergraduate students of the five Brazilian regions, completed measures of sociocultural influences, internalization, social comparison, body and muscularity dissatisfaction, disordered eating and body change behaviours. Structural equation modelling analyses showed good model-fitting (χ²(2790) = 10548.421; p = .0001; χ²/df = 3.78; CFI = .79; PCFI = .75; RMSEA = .064 [90% CI = .062-.065]). Parental influence was related to internalization, while peer influence with social comparison. Media influences were related to both internalization and social comparison. Internalization and social comparison are mediating variables that are related to body dissatisfaction and muscularity dissatisfaction. Finally, muscularity dissatisfaction was associated with body change behaviours. Implications for future research and prevention programmes are discussed.
