• Resumen

  • Los objetivos de este estudio son: adaptación al español y validación preliminar de los cuestionarios Children Eating Attitudes Test (ChEAT), Lawrence Self-Esteem Questionnaire (LAWSEQ) y el Body Esteem Scale (BES), y el estudio de la autoestima corporal en niños y niñas preadolescentes y de su posible relación con determinadas actitudes alimentarias y la autoestima general. Es un estudio transversal, analítico y observacional, con una muestra formada por 457 participantes, un 55,14% niños y un 44,86% niñas, rango de edad 8-12 años (ME= 10.14 años, DE= 1.30 años). Se realizó un análisis múltiple de la varianza (MANOVA) Edad por Sexo con los totales del LAWSEQ, ChEAT, BES, BIA e IMC. El coeficiente alfa de cronbach fue 0.76 para el ChEAT, alfa= 0.80 para el BES, y alfa= 0.67 para el LAWSEQ. Los niños obtienen puntuaciones totales significativamente más altas en ChEAT que las niñas. Un 10,4% (n= 45) de la muestra total obtuvo puntuaciones superiores al punto de corte del ChEAT, presentando una menor autoestima corporal y general, un ideal de imagen más delgado y una mayor discrepancia entre su yo real y su yo social.
