1. Abstract
Research shows contradictory information regarding the association of body appreciation
with dietary restraint eating behaviour and workout time. Multiple previous studies claim a
positive correlation in contrast to other research stating a negative correlation. Either way
60% of young women has a negative body image, with potential psychopathology as a result.
This cross-sectional study investigates the association between these variables among
96 female Mental Health students at the University of Maastricht. This study aims to answer
the following research question: “Is a higher amount of weekly workout-time and having
dietary restraint eating behaviour associated with a more positive body image among female
Mental Health students?”.
The BAS-2 (body appreciation scale) was used to test the level of body appreciation in
these students. The NVE (Dutch questionnaire for eating behaviour)-subscale: dietary
restraint eating behaviour, was used to determine the level of dietary restraint eating
behaviour among these students. Additionally two questions were asked regarding their
workout routines.
The results showed a negative relation between body appreciation and dietary restraint
eating behaviour, whereas exercising and body appreciation showed no significant
association. Therefore, the last finding is in contrast with previous studies, which suggests
further research to be necessary.
