The current study examined the associations between peer victimization, body image shame, self-criticism, self-reassurance, depressive symptoms and eating psychopathology in 609 female adolescents. Correlational analyses showed that being the victim of bullying was positively associated with body image shame, self-criticism, with low self-reassurance, depressive symptoms and eating psychopathology. A path analysis indicated that victimization experiences were associated with increased depressive symptoms partially through increased levels of body image shame, and a severe form of self-criticism - hated self. Body image shame and hated-self self-criticism fully mediated the association between victimization experiences eating psychopathology. The tested model accounted for a total of 51% of depressive symptoms variance and for 52% of eating psychopathology variance. These findings may have important intervention and prevention implications, by suggesting that bullying experiences fuel body image shame and consequent self-directed hostility and anger, which, in turn, predict increased depressive symptomatology and eating psychopathology in female adolescents.
本研究调查了609名女性青少年中同伴欺凌、身体意象羞耻感、自我批评、自我安慰、抑郁症状与饮食心理病理学之间的关联。相关分析表明，遭受欺凌与身体意象羞耻感、自我批评、低自我安慰、抑郁症状和饮食心理病理学呈正相关。路径分析表明，欺凌经历部分通过身体意象羞耻感水平的增加以及一种严重形式的自我批评——讨厌自己，与抑郁症状增加相关。身体意象羞耻感和讨厌自己的自我批评完全介导了欺凌经历与饮食心理病理学之间的关联。所测试的模型总共解释了51%的抑郁症状变异和52%的饮食心理病理学变异。这些发现可能具有重要的干预和预防意义，表明欺凌经历助长了身体意象羞耻感以及随之而来的自我导向的敌意和愤怒，进而预示着女性青少年抑郁症状和饮食心理病理学的增加。
