Steroidgebrauch bei Freizeit-Bodybuildern

Zusammenfassung

Wir haben an einer Stichprobe von 74 männlichen Freizeit-Bodybuildern Zusammenhänge zwischen regelmäßigem Steroidgebrauch (Einnahme n=31; keine Einnahme n=43) und Selbstwert (Multidimensionale Selbstwertskala MSWS), Körperbild (Fragebogen zum Körperbild FK-ASA) sowie Teasing (Physical Appearance Related Teasing Scale PARTS) untersucht. In einer logistischen Regression prädizierten Alter (p=0,001), niedrige Werte für die Körperbildskala Körperausdruck (p=0,036) und hohe Werte für Selbstwert (p=0,024) die Einnahme von Steroiden; Trainingshäufigkeit und erinnertes Teasing (Lästern) zeigten keine Effekte. Entgegen früheren Befunden war nicht niedriger sondern hoher Selbstwert mit Steroideinnahme assoziiert.

Abstract

A sample of 74 male bodybuilders was analyzed for relationships between steroid abuse (abuse n=31; no abuse n=43) and self-esteem (Multidimensionale Selbstwertskala MSWS), body-image (Body-Image Questionnaire FK-ASA) as well as teasing (Physical Appearance Related Teasing Scale PARTS). In a logistic regression analysis age (p=0.001), low values for body expression (p=0.036) and high self-esteem (p=0.024) predicted steroid intake; training frequency or teasing experiences showed no effect. Contrary to earlier findings high and not low self-esteem was associated with steroid abuse. Because of the overlap between constructs narcissism and self-esteem further studies should disentangle the role of narcissism and self-esteem for steroid abuse in bodybuilders.
