Abstract

Social devaluation of being overweight is common in daily life, but little is known about the weight stigma in romantic relationships. The present study investigated the roles of maladaptive and adaptive coping strategies in the relation between the experience of weight stigma in romantic relationships and depressive symptoms in men and women, respectively. Analyses of gender differences and structural equation modeling yielded several findings. First, while men and women experienced similar levels of weight stigma from their romantic partners, women were more likely to use exercise avoidance, disengagement coping, and reappraisal coping strategies, and to exhibit more depressive symptoms than men. Second, men who experienced weight stigma tended to cope with it through exercise avoidance and disengagement coping, which were related to greater depressive symptoms. Men also coped with weight stigma adaptively via reappraisal coping, which was additionally associated with more positive affect. Third, the relation between the experience of weight stigma and depressive symptoms in women was only explained by using disengagement coping. These findings extend the understanding of weight stigma to a specific context and provide some insight that future interventions to reduce the impacts of weight stigma should be tailored accordingly for men and women.

来自恋爱伴侣的体重羞辱:它与适应不良、适应性应对和抑郁症状的关系。
在日常生活中,社会对超重的贬低很常见,但人们对恋爱关系中的体重烙印却知之甚少。本研究调查了男性和女性在恋爱关系中的体重鄙视经历与抑郁症状之间的关系,分别调查了适应性和适应性应对策略的作用。对性别差异和结构方程模型的分析得出了几项发现。首先,虽然男性和女性在恋爱关系中遭受体重鄙视的程度相似,但女性比男性更倾向于使用运动回避、脱离应对和重新评价应对策略,并表现出更多的抑郁症状。其次,经历过体重烙印的男性倾向于通过运动回避和脱离应对策略来应对体重烙印,这与抑郁症状更严重有关。男性也会通过重新评价来适应体重烙印,这与更多的积极情绪有关。第三,女性的体重烙印体验与抑郁症状之间的关系只能用脱离应对来解释。这些发现将人们对体重鄙视的理解延伸到了特定的环境中,并提供了一些启示,即未来为减少体重鄙视的影响而采取的干预措施应相应地针对男性和女性。

期刊介绍: Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
