Full textThis study aimed to translate, adapt and validate the Eating Bahaviours and Body Image Test (EBBIT), to be used with children in a city in the interior of São Paulo. Study subjects were 261 female students between 9 and 12 years old. The internal consistency of the instrument was evaluated by means of factorial analysis with varimax rotation. This analysis was accomplished through SPSS, version 10.0, revealed two factors. The internal consistency was adequate for the total instrument (Cronbachs ∝: 0.89) and ∝ values were also considered satisfactory for the two factors (1 and 2) (∝=0.90 and ∝=0.80 respectively), which demonstrated that the EBBIT is useful for an initial evaluation, tracing behavior that indicates possible eating behavior disorders. The psychometric characteristics of the original instrument were maintained.

Full textEsta tesis doctoral analiza la representación de imagen corporal en la publicidad televisiva y sus mediaciones en la audiencia infantil. A partir de un marco teórico sustentado en las teorías sociales del cuerpo y el estudio del mensaje mediático, este trabajo analiza la representación de la imagen corporal en la publicidad más vista por menores de 6 a 9 años durante el primer semestre de 2015 y su rol mediador en dicha audiencia. A partir del análisis de contenido, se identificaron los rasgos estructurales de esta publicidad y los modelos de imagen corporal prescritos a los menores. La investigación se complementa con el análisis cualitativo de diez grupos de discusión en escuelas de Barcelona. Los principales hallazgos evidencian la prescripción de modelos corporales hegemónicos en esta publicidad. Frente a estas representaciones, los menores elaboran discursos que reproducen y/o rectifican las representaciones corporales. Esta investigación profundiza en un campo aún poco explorado: la publicidad consumida por menores y su implicación en la imagen corporal infantil.
Aquesta tesi doctoral analitza la representació d'imatge corporal en la publicitat televisiva i les seves mediacions en l'audiència infantil. A partir d'un marc teòric sustentat en les teories socials del cos i l'estudi del missatge mediàtic, aquest treball analitza la representació de la imatge corporal en la publicitat més vista per menors de 6 a 9 anys durant el primer semestre del 2015 i el seu paper mediador en aquesta audiència. A partir de l'anàlisi de contingut, es van identificar els trets estructurals d'aquesta publicitat i els models d'imatge corporal prescrits als menors. La investigació es complementa amb l'anàlisi qualitativa de deu grups de discussions en escoles de Barcelona. Els principals resultats evidencien la prescripció de models corporals hegemònics en aquesta publicitat. Davant d'aquestes representacions, els menors elaboren discursos que reprodueixen i/o rectifiquen les representacions corporals. Aquesta investigació aprofundeix en un camp poc explorat: la publicitat consumida per menors i les seves implicacions en la imatge corporal.

The purpose of the study was to identify the correlation between the variables of the corporal composition and image of corporal composition of children and adolescents during the sexual maturation process. It can be characterized as applied research, quantitative, descriptive and correlational. The sample was composed of 334 subjects (178 male and 156 female) from 8 to 17 years of age, enrolled in Programa Mais Educação , from São José SC, that were selected considering as criteria the enrollment in the program. It was collected corporal mass, height, skin fold and bone diameters data. Corporal fat was calculated using the equations proposed by Slaughter et al. (1988) and the fractioning of corporal mass in four components using equations proposed by Matiegka (1921). To obtain data related to body image, was applied the instrument proposed by Tiggeman and Barret (1998). The difference between body image perceived and desired was calculated using the method proposed by Stunkard (1983) related with body image insatisfaction. To evaluate the stages of sexual maturation, the proposed method was Tanner´s (1962). To describe the sample was used descriptive statistics. To obtain the relationship between the variables was determined the correlation coefficient of Spearman (p). To evaluate the influence of the four components of corporal composition (free fat mass , fat mass, bone mass, residual mass) in the Corporal Mass Index was chosen the determination coefficient (r2). For all the statistical tests was adopted a security level of 95% (p<0,05). It was checked that for males the CMI increases proportionally as the maturation stage goes from G1 to G3, given increase of fat mass and muscular mass in relative terms. Even though it is statistically significant, the correlation between CMI and the sexual maturation stage and between fat mass and sexual maturation stage for male were weak and for female were moderate. The variation between the sexual maturation stages can explain these results and indicate that the evaluation of the CMI regarding the sexual maturation might present limitations. Furthermore, the muscular mass and the sexual maturation stage was moderate. The percentage of fat presented weak and negative correlations for males and moderate for females. All the correlation were stronger for females. For this gender, the fat mass increases progressively while the muscular mass descreases. As the sexual maturation stages evolve, the percentage of fat mass that contributes for the increase of CMI also advances progressively. Considering the three components (muscular mass, residual mass, and bone mass) as free fat mass, it is concluded that the female sample present a gain of fat mass and a loss of free fat mass. The correlation between perceived corporal image and CMI was perceived as moderate for both genders.
O objetivo do estudo foi identificar a existência de congruência entre as variáveis da composição corporal e imagem corporal de crianças e adolescentes durante a maturação sexual. Pode ser caracterizada como pesquisa aplicada, quantitativa, descritiva e correlacional. A amostra foi composta de 334 indivíduos (178 do sexo masculino e 156 do sexo feminino) de 8 a 17 anos, inscritas no Programa Mais Educação de São José-SC que foram selecionados intencionalmente, considerado critério a inscrição do sujeito no Programa Mais Educação. Foram mensurados dados de massa corporal, estatura, dobras cutâneas e diâmetros ósseos. Calculou-se o percentual de gordura corporal pelas equações propostas por Slaugther et al. (1988) e o fracionamento da massa corporal em quatro componentes proposto por Matiegka (1921). Para obtenção de dados referentes à imagem corporal, aplicou-se o instrumento proposto por Tiggeman e Barret (1998). Calculou-se a diferença entre a imagem corporal percebida e desejada proposta por Stunkard (1983) referente a insatisfação com a imagem corporal. Para avaliação dos estágios da maturação sexual foi aplicado a escala proposta por Tanner (1962). Para descrição da amostra, utilizou-se a estatística descritiva. Para obtenção da relação entre as variáveis, foi determinado o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman (p). Para avaliar a influência dos quatro componentes da composição corporal (Massa Magra, Massa Gorda, Massa Óssea, Massa Residual) no Índice de Massa Corporal optou-se pelo coeficiente de determinação (r2). Para todos os testes estatísticos adotou-se um nível de significância de 95% (p<0,05). Verificou-se que no sexo masculino, o IMC aumenta na proporção que o estágio maturacional avança de G1 para G3. Embora estatisticamente significante, a correlação entre o IMC e o estágio de maturação sexual e entre massa gorda e o estágio de maturação sexual para meninos foram fracas e para meninas moderadas. Já entre a massa muscular e o estágio de maturação sexual foi moderado. O percentual de gordura apresentou correlação muito fraca e negativa para meninos e moderada para meninas. Todas as correlações foram mais fortes no sexo feminino. Nas meninas, a massa gorda aumenta progressivamente enquanto que a massa muscular diminui. A medida que os estágios da maturação sexual evoluem, o percentual de massa gorda que contribui frente ao aumento do IMC, avança também progressivamente. Considerando os três componentes (massa muscular, massa residual e massa óssea) como massa magra, conclui-se que as meninas apresentam um ganho de massa gorda e uma diminuição de massa magra. Percebeu-se que correlação entre a imagem corporal percebida e o IMC foi moderada para ambos os sexos.
