Resumo
Background. Clinical-psychological characteristics of women who alter their appearance surgically and women with symptoms of eating disorders (EDs) are rarely examined in a comparative framework. This article presents the results of an empirical study aimed at comparing body image perception, self-attitude, and severity of psychopathological symptoms in women undergoing cosmetic surgery and in women with symptoms of EDs.
Materials and Methods. The study included 74 women with a history of cosmetic surgery (mean age 37±8.27 years) and 41 women with symptoms of EDs (mean age 31.5±9.65 years). All participants completed an online survey. The following instruments were employed for data collection: the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R; L. Derogatis, R. Lipman, L. Covi, 1977; adapted by N.V. Tarabrina), the Self-Attitude Questionnaire (S.R. Panteleev, V.V. Stolin, 1988), the Body Image Questionnaire (O.A. Skugarevsky, S.V. Sivukha, 2006), the Appearance-Based Rejection Sensitivity Scale (Park, 2007; adapted by A.Yu. Razvalyaeva, N.A. Polskaya), the Body Image Quality of Life Inventory (BIQLI; Cash & Fleming, 2002; adapted by L.T. Baranskaya et al.), the Value Orientations Method (O.I. Motkov, T.A. Ogneva, 2008), and an author-designed questionnaire.
Results and Analysis. In both groups, appearance was identified as an important value. However, women with disordered eating reported lower self-esteem, higher severity of psychopathological symptoms, greater body image dissatisfaction, and heightened sensitivity to appearance-based rejection. They also demonstrated a pronounced negative impact of body image perceptions on quality of life and psychological well-being.
Conclusion. The findings highlight the importance of psychological assessment aimed at identifying potential contraindications for cosmetic surgery.
