Interpersonal dysfunction and weight/shape-based self-worth have been implicated as key constructs for eating disorders, although the relationship between these two concepts is under-researched. This study investigated the moderating role of weight/shape-based self-worth in terms of the impact of interpersonal rejection on attentional bias regarding thin-ideal and non-thin images. Participants were 94 females without an eating disorder, who were exposed to either interpersonal rejection or acceptance (using the Cyberball paradigm), and subsequently assessed in terms of their attentional biases regarding thin-ideal and non-thin images. Results revealed that weight/shape-based self-worth moderated the relationship between interpersonal rejection/acceptance and attentional biases for thin-ideal (but not non-thin) images. Specifically, participants with a greater tendency to base their self-worth on weight/shape demonstrated reduced avoidance of thin-ideal images when rejected relative to those who were accepted. The findings support the role of interpersonal rejection in eliciting attentional disturbances among those with higher body weight/shape-based self-worth.
人际功能障碍和基于体重/体型的自我价值感被认为是饮食失调的关键结构，但这两个概念之间的关系还没有得到充分研究。本研究调查了基于体重/体型的自我价值感在人际拒绝对与瘦理想和非瘦形象相关的注意偏向的影响方面的调节作用。参与者为 94 名没有饮食失调的女性，她们分别经历了人际拒绝或接受（使用 Cyberball 范式），随后评估了她们对瘦理想和非瘦形象的注意偏向。结果表明，基于体重/体型的自我价值感调节了人际拒绝/接受与对瘦理想（而非非瘦）形象的注意偏向之间的关系。具体来说，那些更倾向于将自我价值感建立在体重/体型基础上的参与者在被拒绝时对瘦理想形象的回避程度低于被接受时的回避程度。研究结果支持人际拒绝在引起那些具有更高体重/体型自我价值感的人注意力障碍方面的作用。
