摘要：This study explored the relationship between obesity perception, obesity itself with self-esteem and social anxiety of obese adolescents using Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC) model. 297 adolescents, who visited for regular health examinations at the Medical Examination Center of three hospitals located in Shenzhen, completed a battery of self-report questionnaires measuring obesity perception, self-esteem and social anxiety. Findings suggested that MIMIC model can be considered as a reasonable statistical method to invest the influencing factors of self-esteem and social anxiety for obese adolescents systematically. Gender predicts self-esteem, weight perception predicts self-esteem and Negative Evaluation (FNE), while body size has no effect on both of these two psychological traits.
