The present study investigated how eating pathology and depressive symptoms were related to the dyadic dynamics of fat talk in mother-daughter relationships during adolescence. The current sample included 100 mother-daughter dyads who completed a survey on their fat talk disclosure, eating pathology, and depressive symptoms. The Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) was utilized for the dyadic data. Adolescent girls' and mothers' engagement in fat talk was related to their own eating pathology. Daughters, but not mothers, who engaged in more fat talk reported more depressive symptoms. When mothers and daughters both had high levels of fat talk, it was associated with a higher risk of daughters' eating pathology. Adolescent girls who engaged in fat talk reported higher depressive symptoms when their mothers did not reciprocate with more fat talk. This study highlights the importance of an interpersonal approach to fat talk research and clinical interventions addressing adolescents' eating disorders and depression.
本研究调查了饮食病理学和抑郁症状如何与青少年时期母女关系中的二元动态的胖谈相关。当前样本包括 100 对母女，她们完成了关于胖谈披露、饮食病理学和抑郁症状的调查。使用 Actor-Partner Interdependence Model（APIM）对二元数据进行分析。青少年女孩和母亲的胖谈参与与她们自己的饮食病理学有关。参与胖谈更多的女儿，而不是母亲，报告了更多的抑郁症状。当母亲和女儿都有高水平的胖谈时，这与女儿饮食病理学的风险增加有关。当母亲不回应更多的胖谈时，参与胖谈的青少年女孩报告了更高的抑郁症状。这项研究强调了从人际角度研究胖谈以及针对青少年饮食失调和抑郁进行临床干预的重要性。
