Although past studies have highlighted fat talk as relevant to body image disturbance, the majority of these have only investigated the link between fat talk and body esteem, to the exclusion of other body image constructs. One hundred and ninety-nine women completed an online survey measuring levels of appearance-based comparisons, body surveillance, thin ideal internalization, body esteem, and fat talk (FT-body concerns and FT-body comparisons). Results showed that fat talk made a significant contribution in explaining additional variance in body esteem above the other three body image factors, with FT-body concerns in particular making the highest unique contribution. Hierarchical regression analyses suggest that fat talk should be viewed as an independent psychosocial predictor of body esteem in both theoretical and therapeutic contexts. Future research should explore these relationships from a longitudinal perspective, and also clarify the nuances in the relationships by investigating the nature of women's everyday body image experiences.
尽管过去的研究强调了“胖语”与身体形象困扰相关，但其中大多数研究仅调查了“胖语”与身体自尊之间的联系，而排除了其他身体形象构念。199名女性完成了一项在线调查，该调查测量了基于外貌的比较、身体监测、瘦身理想内化、身体自尊以及“胖语”（对身体的担忧和对身体的比较）的程度。结果表明，“胖语”在解释身体自尊方面的额外方差时，相对于其他三个身体形象因素做出了显著贡献，尤其是对身体的担忧做出了最高的独特贡献。分层回归分析表明，在理论和治疗背景下，“胖语”都应被视为身体自尊的一个独立的社会心理预测因素。未来的研究应从纵向角度探索这些关系，并通过调查女性日常身体形象体验的本质来澄清这些关系中的细微差别。
