대학생의 SNS 뷰잉, 자아존중감, 사회문화적 압력이 이상섭식행동에 미치는 영향

This study examined the effects of social networking service (SNS) viewing, self-esteem, and sociocultural pressure on disordered eating behaviors among university students. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted with 161 students enrolled at a university in G Province, Republic of Korea, from June 1 to June 30, 2025. SNS viewing was assessed using a 4-item, 7-point scale adapted from items based on the Physical Appearance Comparison Scale–Revised. Self-esteem was measured with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (10 items, 4-point scale). Sociocultural pressure was assessed using a 22-item, 5-point scale covering perceived influences from family, friends, and media. Disordered eating behaviors were measured using the Korean version of the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (KEAT-26; 26 items, 6-point scale). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Correlation and multiple regression analysis. The regression model was statistically significant (F=54.84, p< .01) and explained 50.2% of the variance in disordered eating behaviors (adjusted R²= .502). Sociocultural pressure (β= .41, p< .01) and SNS viewing (β= .33, p< .01) were positively associated with disordered eating behaviors, whereas self-esteem (β=- .14, p= .02) was negatively associated with disordered eating behaviors. These findings suggest that interventions to prevent disordered eating among university students should address sociocultural appearance-related pressures and SNS viewing patterns, while also strengthening self-esteem.
