Fat talk is a style of verbal expression among young women involving negative self-statements, complaints about physical appearance, and weight management. This research used ecological momentary assessment to examine the impact of naturalistic fat talk experiences on body dissatisfaction, body checking, negative affect, and disordered eating behaviors. We examined trait self-objectification as a moderator. Sixty-five female college students completed a baseline questionnaire and responded to questions when randomly prompted by palm pilot devices for five days. Results indicated fat talk is common and associated with greater body dissatisfaction, body checking, negative affect, and disordered eating behaviors. Fat talk participation was associated with greater body checking than overhearing fat talk. Greater trait self-objectification was associated with greater body dissatisfaction and body checking following fat talk. These results suggest that fat talk negatively impacts the cognitions, affect, and behavior of young women and has increased negative effects for women higher in self-objectification.
“胖语”是年轻女性之间一种言语表达形式，包括自我贬低、对自身外貌的抱怨以及体重管理方面的内容。本研究采用生态瞬时评估法，考察自然发生的“胖语”经历对身体不满、身体检查行为、消极情绪和饮食失调行为的影响。我们将特质自我物化作为调节变量进行研究。65名女大学生完成了一份基线调查问卷，并在5天内通过掌上电脑设备随机提示时回答问题。结果表明，“胖语”很常见，且与更高程度的身体不满、身体检查行为、消极情绪和饮食失调行为相关。参与“胖语”比偷听“胖语”与更多的身体检查行为相关。更高程度的特质自我物化与“胖语”后更高程度的身体不满和身体检查行为相关。这些结果表明，“胖语”会对年轻女性的认知、情绪和行为产生负面影响，且对自我物化程度较高的女性有更大的负面影响。
