■青春期的关系欺凌(RB)经历与饮食失调的发展有关。这种关联可能与由于感知到的社会自卑而导致的羞耻感增加有关,社会地位低,和/或他人的负面评价。自我同情可能是对抗RB对羞耻和饮食失调的影响的保护因素。在目前的研究中,我们在一个年轻成年人样本中调查了羞耻是否介导了回忆的RB与当前饮食紊乱之间的关系.然后,使用条件过程分析,我们检查了观察到的调解是否由自我同情调节。
■参与者是359名年轻人(17-25岁),他们完成了回顾RB经历和当前饮食失调的在线自我报告措施,羞耻,和自我同情。
■RB的经历与当前的羞耻和饮食紊乱呈正相关,与当前的自我同情负相关,具有小到中等的效果大小。RB和饮食失调之间的关联部分是由羞耻介导的,这种调解是由自我同情调节的。
■我们的结果表明,自我同情心较低的年轻人更有可能通过羞耻机制证明召回的RB与饮食失调之间的关系。这些发现对反欺凌意识和饮食失调预防计划都具有重要意义。
UNASSIGNED: Experiences of relational bullying (RB) in adolescence are associated with the development of disordered eating. This association may be related to heightened shame resulting from perceived social inferiority, low social rank, and/or negative evaluation by others. Self-compassion may act as a protective factor against the influence of RB on shame and disordered eating. In the current study, we investigated whether shame mediated the relationship between recalled RB and current disordered eating in a sample of young adults. Then, using conditional process analysis, we examined whether the observed mediation was moderated by self-compassion.
UNASSIGNED: Participants were 359 young adults (aged 17-25) who completed online self-report measures of recalled RB experiences and current disordered eating, shame, and self-compassion.
UNASSIGNED: Experiences of RB were positively related to current shame and disordered eating, and negatively related to current self-compassion, with small-to-medium effect sizes. The association between RB and disordered eating was partially mediated by shame, and this mediation was moderated by self-compassion.
UNASSIGNED: Our results suggest that young adults with lower self-compassion are more likely to demonstrate a relationship between recalled RB and disordered eating through the mechanism of shame. These findings have important implications for both anti-bullying awareness and eating disorder prevention programs.
