Peer victimization has been related to weight/shape concerns in adolescents. However, a dearth of research has examined potential moderators of this association. The present study examined the concurrent and prospective associations between two types of peer victimization, appearance-based and non-appearance-based, and weight/shape concerns among adolescents, and whether these associations were moderated by appearance-based rejection sensitivity. Participants were 897 adolescents, aged 11-19 years (M = 14 years 8 months, SD = 1 year 4 months), who completed a range of self-report measures as part of the EveryBODY study, one year apart. Both forms of victimization were associated with concurrent, but not prospective weight/shape concerns. Additionally, the concurrent association between appearance-related victimization and weight/shape concerns was dependent on appearance-based rejection-sensitivity, with stronger associations at lower levels of appearance-based rejection-sensitivity. These findings support previous research linking peer victimization with concurrent weight/shape concerns in adolescents. However, the impact of peer victimization on increased weight/shape concerns was not observed.
同伴侵害与青少年的体重/体型担忧有关。然而，很少有研究探讨这种关联的潜在调节因素。本研究考察了两种类型的同伴侵害——基于外貌和非外貌的侵害，以及青少年的体重/体型担忧之间的同期和前瞻性关联，以及这些关联是否受到基于外貌的拒绝敏感性的调节。参与者为 897 名 11-19 岁的青少年（M=14 岁 8 个月，SD=1 年 4 个月），他们作为 EveryBODY 研究的一部分，在一年的时间里完成了一系列自我报告的测量。两种形式的侵害都与同期的体重/体型担忧有关，但与前瞻性的体重/体型担忧无关。此外，与外貌相关的侵害与体重/体型担忧之间的同期关联取决于基于外貌的拒绝敏感性，在基于外貌的拒绝敏感性较低的情况下，关联更强。这些发现支持了之前的研究，即同伴侵害与青少年的同期体重/体型担忧有关。然而，并没有观察到同伴侵害对体重/体型担忧增加的影响。
