Some aspects of sexual identity of girls suffering from anorexia nervosa 57
Streszczenie
Autorka przedstawia różne ujęcia problematyki tożsamości płciowej, która stanowi jeden z istotnych elementów obrazu siebie i jego składowych: ja "realnego", ja "idealnego" oraz samooceny. Te aspekty obrazu siebie stanowią podstawę prezentowanych przez Autorkę badań nad oceną siebie w kategorii "męskość-kobiecość" oraz stosunkiem dziewcząt chorych na jadłowstręt psychiczny do własnej kobiecości.
Summary The article presents the results of an empirical research on sexual identity of girls suffering from anorexia nervosa. The author introduces the theoretical concept of sexual identity. In the structure of sexual identity, which is one of the most important kinds of the individual's social identities, three aspects have been isolated, namely, a phenomenological aspect of sexual identity, conceptual aspect of sexual identity and the behavioral aspect of sexual identity. The second one, which includes self-esteem in the area of features related with sex, was the main object of interest in the study. 30 girls suffering from anorexia nervosa according to DSM-IV and 30 girls without eating problems were examined. The method used in the study was the Q technique. A significantly lower level of self-esteem in the area of features related with sex was observed in anorectic patients in comparison with girls without eating problems. Moreover, some incoherence in the content of the conceptual aspect of sexual identity in anorectic girls was revealed. |
