Abstract

Background: Body compassion is a protective factor in the field of eating disorders (ED) that has been associated with higher body appreciation and lower body shame. However, more studies are needed in order to disentangle the protective role of compassion in regard to the risk of ED. The study’s aims were to (1) analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish adaptation of the Body Compassion Scale (BCS) and (2) determine whether body appreciation and body shame were mediators in the relationship between body compassion and the risk of ED.

Method: 288 women (range: 18-40 years old; M = 24.65 ± 5.02) from the general Spanish population completed online questionnaires.

Results: The Spanish adaptation of the BCS was reliable and valid. Results of a serial and parallel mediation model confirmed the protective role of body compassion and body appreciation on body shame and the risk of ED, accounting for 68.88% of the variance.

Conclusions: Findings indicate that women who present higher body compassion tend to show higher body appreciation, which in turn leads to lower internal body shame and lower risk of ED. These results support the need to develop a positive and compassionate relationship with one’s body, in order to prevent ED.

身体同情心在饮食失调风险中的作用：身体欣赏与身体羞耻的中介效应

背景：在饮食失调（ED）领域，对身体的同情是一种保护性因素，它与较高的身体鉴赏力和较低的身体羞耻感有关。然而，还需要更多的研究来揭示身体同情心对进食障碍风险的保护作用。本研究的目的是：(1) 分析身体同情量表（BCS）西班牙改编版的心理测量特性；(2) 确定身体欣赏和身体羞耻感是否是身体同情与 ED 风险之间关系的中介：结果：西班牙文改编版 BCS 可靠有效。串联和并联中介模型的结果证实，身体怜悯和身体欣赏对身体羞耻感和ED风险具有保护作用，占方差的68.88%：研究结果表明，具有较高身体同情心的女性往往会表现出较高的身体鉴赏力，这反过来又会导致较低的内在身体羞耻感和较低的 ED 风险。这些结果支持了与自己的身体建立积极的、富有同情心的关系以预防 ED 的必要性。
