The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of mother-daughter communication about their bodies on adolescent girls' and mothers' body shame.
The Actor-Partner Interdependence Model was utilized to estimate relationships between individuals' body surveillance and their own body shame (actor effect), individuals' body surveillance and the other member's body shame (partner effect), and negative body talk and both members' body shame (relationship effect) in a sample of 100 mother-daughter dyads.
For both mothers and daughters, individuals who had higher body surveillance reported higher body shame. Negative body talk emerged as a significant moderator: girls with higher body surveillance experienced greater body shame when they engaged in more negative body talk with their mothers.
The findings highlight the need for clinicians to address mothers' own surveillance and body shame, as well as negative body talk between mothers and daughters, in interventions that seek to reduce the impact of objectification on body shame in adolescents.

本研究旨在探讨母女间身体沟通对青少年女孩和母亲身体羞耻感的影响。
采用演员-伙伴相互依存模型来估计个体的身体监控与其自身身体羞耻感之间的关系(演员效应)、个体的身体监控与其同伴的身体羞耻感之间的关系(伙伴效应),以及在 100 对母女样本中消极身体谈话与两者的身体羞耻感之间的关系(关系效应)。
对于母亲和女儿来说,身体监控程度较高的个体报告的身体羞耻感更高。消极身体谈话是一个显著的调节因素:当女孩与母亲进行更多的消极身体谈话时,身体监控程度较高的女孩会经历更大的身体羞耻感。
研究结果强调了临床医生在干预措施中需要解决母亲自身的监控和身体羞耻感,以及母亲和女儿之间的消极身体谈话,以减少客观化对青少年身体羞耻感的影响。
