Abstract

Background

Cognitive biases, such as applying stricter body evaluation for oneself than for others, are presumed to promote the development and maintenance of eating disorders. While questionnaire data have demonstrated a familial transmission of body image, these self-deprecating double standards (DS) have not been studied among female adolescents, and a potential familial transmission of DS through feedback/role-modeling is yet to be explored. The present study thus addresses these questions.

Methods

Female adolescents and their mothers viewed pictures of their own and peer bodies presented with their own and another peer’s face, and were asked to rate arousal, valence, body attractiveness, and body fat for each body.

Results

Daughters evaluated their own, an average-weight, and an overweight build as less attractive and with more body fat when presented with their own than with another face, while mothers mainly applied such self-deprecating DS for an overweight build. Regarding familial transmission, higher negative maternal feedback was associated with more self-deprecating DS of body fat and attractiveness in daughters when viewing an overweight build.

Conclusions

Female adolescents and their mothers apply self-deprecating DS, suggesting that DS are widespread. Psychoeducation and training regarding communication, feedback, and body functionality might support the prevention of DS.

有其母必有其女?女性青少年及其母亲对身体评价的双重标准及其家族传承
背景认知偏差,如对自己的身体评价比对他人的评价更严格,被认为会促进进食障碍的发展和维持。虽然问卷调查数据显示了身体形象的家族遗传,但这些自我贬低的双重标准(DS)尚未在女性青少年中进行过研究,而通过反馈/角色示范进行的DS潜在家族遗传也有待探讨。本研究就是为了解决这些问题而进行的。研究方法:女性青少年及其母亲观看自己和同龄人的身体图片,图片上有自己和另一个同龄人的脸,要求她们对每种身体的唤醒度、价值感、身体吸引力和体脂进行评分。结果:当图片上有自己和另一个同龄人的脸时,女儿认为自己、中等体重和超重体型的吸引力较低,体脂较多,而母亲则主要对超重体型采用这种自贬式双重标准。在家庭传播方面,母亲的负面反馈越多,女儿在看到超重体型时对身体脂肪和吸引力的自我贬低就越多。有关沟通、反馈和身体功能的心理教育和培训可能有助于预防自毁体型。
