Abstract：
This study aimed to examine the mediating role of body image coping strategies in the relationship between positive body image and wellbeing. Three hundred and seventy-two women and three hundred and seventy-seven men completed a questionnaire assessing body appreciation, body appreciation functionality, body compassion, body image coping strategies (appearance fixing, avoidance, positive rational acceptance), self-acceptance and overall psychological wellbeing. Path analysis showed that avoidance significantly mediated the relationship between body appreciation and overall psychological wellbeing among both women and men; its mediating role was confirmed for men\'s but not for women\'s self-acceptance. Positive rational acceptance was a significant mediator of the relationship between body compassion and both psychological wellbeing and self-acceptance among men but not among women. These findings show that higher body appreciation is associated with a lower tendency to avoid appearance-related cognitions or thoughts that are interpreted as threatening, with an indirect effect on women\'s and men\'s psychological wellbeing. Analogously, but only for men, body compassion is associated with mental activities and self-care behaviors that foster rational self-talk and the acceptance of one\'s experiences, which, in turn, are linked to higher wellbeing. These findings can help to plan programs aimed at fostering individuals\' wellbeing by focusing on their positive body image considering gender differences.
摘要：
本研究旨在探讨身体形象应对策略在积极身体形象与幸福感关系中的中介作用。三百七十二名女性和三百七十七名男性填写了一份评估身体欣赏的问卷,身体欣赏功能，身体同情，身体形象应对策略(外表固定，回避,积极的理性接受)，自我接纳和整体心理健康。路径分析显示,回避对女性和男性的身体欣赏与整体心理健康之间的关系具有显著的中介作用,对男性的自我接纳作用没有影响。积极的理性接受是男性身体同情心与心理健康和自我接受之间关系的重要媒介，而女性则不然。这些发现表明，较高的身体欣赏与较低的倾向有关，以避免与外观相关的认知或思想被解释为威胁，对男女心理健康有间接影响。类似地,但只对男人来说,身体同情与促进理性的自我对话和接受一个人的经验的心理活动和自我照顾行为有关，which,反过来,与更高的幸福感有关。这些发现可以帮助计划旨在通过关注考虑性别差异的积极身体形象来促进个人福祉的计划。
