The purpose of this study was to examine longitudinal connections among young adolescent heterosocial involvement (i.e., mixed-sex interactions), peer pressure for thinness, and body dissatisfaction. Three years of self-report questionnaire data were collected from 88 adolescent girls as they completed 6th through 8th grades. Results indicated that the relation between heterosocial involvement and body dissatisfaction was mediated by perceived peer pressure for thinness. Within this model, heterosocial involvement was associated with greater peer pressure for thinness. In turn, peer pressure for thinness was associated with greater body dissatisfaction. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for prevention and intervention efforts aimed at girls during their middle-school years.
本研究旨在探讨青少年异性社交参与(即混合性别互动)、对瘦的同伴压力和身体不满之间的纵向联系。从 88 名少女在完成 6 年级到 8 年级的过程中,收集了 3 年的自我报告问卷数据。结果表明,异性社交参与与身体不满之间的关系是由感知到的对瘦的同伴压力所介导的。在这个模型中,异性社交参与与对瘦的同伴压力更大有关。反过来,对瘦的同伴压力与更大的身体不满有关。结果从其对在中学期间对女孩的预防和干预努力的意义方面进行了讨论。
