The aim of this study was to examine the associations between women's actual:ideal weight-related self-discrepancies and experiences of weight-related shame, guilt, and authentic pride using self-discrepancy (Higgins, 1987) and self-conscious emotion (Tracy & Robins, 2004) theories as guiding frameworks. Participants (N=398) completed self-report questionnaires. Main analyses involved polynomial regressions, followed by the computation and evaluation of response surface values. Actual and ideal weight self-states were related to shame (R2 = .35), guilt (R2 = .25), and authentic pride (R2 = .08). When the discrepancy between actual and ideal weights increased, shame and guilt also increased, while authentic pride decreased. Findings provide partial support for self-discrepancy theory and the process model of self-conscious emotions. Experiencing weight-related self-discrepancies may be important cognitive appraisals related to shame, guilt, and authentic pride. Further research is needed exploring the relations between self-discrepancies and a range of weight-related self-conscious emotions.
本研究旨在利用自我差异（Higgins，1987）和自我意识情绪（Tracy & Robins，2004）理论作为指导框架，检验女性实际-理想体重相关自我差异与体重相关羞耻感、内疚感和真实自豪感体验之间的关联。参与者（N=398）完成了自我报告问卷。主要分析涉及多项式回归，随后计算和评估响应曲面值。实际体重和理想体重状态与羞耻感（R2=.35）、内疚感（R2=.25）和真实自豪感（R2=.08）相关。当实际体重和理想体重之间的差异增加时，羞耻感和内疚感也会增加，而真实自豪感则会减少。研究结果部分支持自我差异理论和自我意识情绪的过程模型。体验体重相关的自我差异可能是与羞耻感、内疚感和真实自豪感相关的重要认知评价。需要进一步研究探索自我差异与一系列体重相关的自我意识情绪之间的关系。
