摘要

The rising prevalence of disordered eating highlights the need to understand internal psychological pathways to healthy eating behaviors. This study aims to explore the underlying relationship between appearance evaluation and intuitive eating, focusing on the chain mediating roles of self-esteem and physical activity across different groups in Chinese university students population. A total of 866 participants were recruited to complete Chinese Version of the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ) - Appearance Evaluation Subscale, Self-Esteem Scale, Physical Activity Rating Scale-3, Chinese Version of the Intuitive Eating Scale-2. The results showed that there was a chain mediaton model that self-esteem and physical activity served as mediating variables in the association between appearance evaluation and intuitive eating. Meanwhile, the model was not moderated by gender and BMI. Finally, when examining the across subgroups, it demonstrated the mid-BMI male subgroup was significant in this mediation model. These findings provide a cross-group theoretical foundation for the development of psychological strategies aimed at optimizing healthy eating behaviors in Chinese university students population.
