This study investigated associations between perceived peer harassment and satisfaction with appearance in the presence or absence of a facial difference. A cross-sectional sample of 661 children aged 10 or 16, with a cleft lip and/or palate, completed measures of satisfaction with appearance and peer harassment. Results indicated that the presence of a visible versus a nonvisible cleft was not associated with appearance dissatisfaction or higher levels of peer harassment for children aged 10 or for adolescent boys. Peer harassment was related to dissatisfaction with appearance in both age groups. In the adolescent group, there was an interaction between cleft visibility and gender, girls with a visible cleft being least satisfied with appearance. However, the association between cleft visibility and satisfaction with appearance was fully mediated by experiences of peer harassment. The results highlight the need to further explore the role of social interactions for subjective perceptions of appearance.
本研究调查了在存在或不存在面部差异的情况下,感知到的同伴欺凌与对外观的满意度之间的关系。一个由 661 名 10 岁或 16 岁的唇腭裂儿童组成的横断面样本,完成了对外观满意度和同伴欺凌的测量。结果表明,对于 10 岁或青春期男孩,可见与不可见的唇腭裂的存在与外观不满或更高水平的同伴欺凌无关。同伴欺凌与两个年龄段的外观不满都有关。在青春期组中,存在可见性和性别之间的交互作用,有可见性唇腭裂的女孩对外观最不满意。然而,可见性唇腭裂与对外观的满意度之间的关联完全被同伴欺凌的经历所中介。研究结果强调了需要进一步探讨社会互动对主观外观感知的作用。
