Weight teasing is common among adolescents, but less is known about the continuation of this experience during young adulthood. The present study uses survey data from a diverse sample of 2287 young adults, who participated in a 10-year longitudinal study of weight-related issues to examine hurtful weight comments by family members or a significant other. Among young adults, 35.9% of females and 22.8% of males reported receiving hurtful weight-related comments by family members, and 21.2% of females and 23.8% of males with a significant other had received hurtful weight-related comments from this source. Hispanic and Asian young adults and overweight/obese young adults were more likely to report receiving comments than those in other groups. Weight teasing during adolescence predicted hurtful weight-related comments in young adulthood, with some differences by gender. Findings suggest that hurtful weight talk continues into young adulthood and is predicted by earlier weight teasing experiences.
体重嘲笑在青少年中很常见,但对于这种经历在年轻成人期的延续情况了解较少。本研究使用了一项涉及体重相关问题的 10 年纵向研究中来自不同样本的 2287 名年轻成年人的调查数据,来调查来自家庭成员或重要他人的伤人的体重评论。在年轻成年人中,35.9%的女性和 22.8%的男性报告称收到了来自家庭成员的伤人的体重相关评论,而 21.2%的女性和 23.8%的有重要他人的男性也收到了来自这一来源的伤人的体重相关评论。西班牙裔和亚裔年轻成年人以及超重/肥胖的年轻成年人比其他群体更有可能报告收到评论。青春期的体重嘲笑预测了年轻成人期的伤人的体重相关评论,且存在一些性别差异。研究结果表明,伤人的体重言论会持续到年轻成人期,并由早期的体重嘲笑经历所预测。
