Appearance contingent self-worth has been shown to be associated with low appearance self-esteem but little is known about the role that objectified body consciousness may play in this relationship. The purpose of the present study with 465 female undergraduates was to examine whether objectified body consciousness mediates the association between appearance contingent self-worth and low levels of appearance self-esteem. This was accomplished using a multiple mediation model to examine whether components of objectified body consciousness (i.e., body surveillance, body shame, and control beliefs) play unique roles in the connection between appearance contingent self-worth and appearance self-esteem. Results showed that body surveillance and body shame were significant mediators of the connection between appearance contingent self-worth and low levels of appearance self-esteem. Discussion focuses on the implications of these results for the ways in which appearance contingent self-worth may promote heightened body consciousness and possibly contribute to low levels of appearance self-esteem.
外貌依赖型自我价值已被证明与低外貌自尊相关，但对于客体化身体意识在这种关系中可能扮演的角色却知之甚少。本研究以465名女大学生为对象，旨在检验客体化身体意识是否在外表依赖型自我价值与低水平外貌自尊之间的关联中起中介作用。这是通过一个多重中介模型来完成的，以检验客体化身体意识的组成部分（即身体监测、身体羞耻和控制信念）在外表依赖型自我价值与外貌自尊之间的联系中是否发挥独特作用。结果表明，身体监测和身体羞耻是外表依赖型自我价值与低水平外貌自尊之间联系的显著中介变量。讨论集中在这些结果对于外表依赖型自我价值可能促进更高的身体意识并可能导致低水平外貌自尊的方式的意义。
