국문 초록

모든 유기체는 생존을 위해 먹지 않으면 안 된다. 먹는 행위, 즉 섭식은 모든 사람과 동물의 기본적인 생리욕구를 충족시키는 태도이다. 균형 잡힌 식사는 신체의 건강상태를 유지하며 정신과 정서적 안정에 중요한 역할을 한다. 특히 청소년기는 신체적, 정신적, 정서적으로 급격한 변화를 보이는 시기로, 이 시기의 섭식태도는 장래의 신체 발달 및 성장기 이후의 건강과 밀접한 관련이 있기 때문에 더욱 중요하게 다뤄져야 한다(Jeffry, Adlis, & Forster, 1991). 사춘기의 아동들은 신체 발육이 2차 성징으로 직접 두드러지는 과정에서 자신의 신체에 대한 관심이 높아지는 시기이다. 특히 오늘날의 대중매체의 영향으로 청소년과 초등학교 고학년 아동들은 자아개념이 낮아져(신관호, 1996 ; Hill, Oliver & Rogers, 1992) 그들의 부정적인 자아개념은 친구나 가족성원과의 융화를 방해하고 적응장애를 초래할 수 있다(Browell, 1993, Kimm, 1991). 이러한 때에 옳지 않은 식습관이나, 신체에 대한 왜곡된 관념을 갖게 되는 것은 인생의 전반에 결쳐 좋지 않은 영향을 미칠 것이다(Gorman & Allison, 1995) 옳지 못한 식습관 즉, 섭식장애가 나타나면 빈약한 영양섭취로 인한 신체적인 손상은 물론 생식기능이 손상되고 인지적인 기능도 저하되어 일상생활을 수행할 수가 없게 된다(APA, 1994).
