Although research suggests that fat talk, the normalized conversations that involve degrading one's body shape/weight and size, can increase body dissatisfaction and disordered eating behavior, the extent to which dietary restraint may moderate these relationships remains uncertain. A pilot study (N=30) comparing online videos with researcher-developed vignettes as prospective manipulations for fat talk exposure suggested use of the vignettes as potent yet subtle stimuli. In the main study, women undergraduates (N=116) were randomized to read a fat talk or neutral vignette and then completed standardized measures of body dissatisfaction and dietary restraint while being concurrently presented with food stimuli. Results suggest significant moderation effects for dietary restraint: whereas fat talk exposure was associated with increased body dissatisfaction among low dietary restrainers, it appeared to reduce food consumption among high dietary restrainers. Findings highlight the importance of individual differences in shaping responses to fat talk.
虽然研究表明，“胖谈”（即涉及贬低自己体型、体重和身材的常态化对话）可能会增加身体不满和饮食失调行为，但饮食抑制在多大程度上可以调节这些关系还不确定。一项比较在线视频和研究人员开发的情景片段作为“胖谈”暴露的前瞻性操作的初步研究（N=30）表明，使用情景片段作为有力但微妙的刺激。在主要研究中，女大学生（N=116）被随机分配阅读“胖谈”或中性情景片段，然后在同时呈现食物刺激的情况下完成身体不满和饮食抑制的标准化测量。结果表明，饮食抑制有显著的调节作用：虽然“胖谈”暴露与低饮食抑制者的身体不满增加有关，但它似乎减少了高饮食抑制者的食物摄入量。研究结果强调了个体差异在塑造对“胖谈”反应方面的重要性。
