The present study aimed to examine the link between body talk on social networking sites (SNS body talk) and restrained eating as well as the mediating roles of fear of negative appearance evaluation (FNAE) and body shame in this relationship. Furthermore, the moderating role of gender in the mediation model was also examined. A sample of 1481 Chinese middle and high school students (720 girls, mean age = 15.49 ± 1.84) completed self-reported measures of SNS body talk, FNAE, body shame, and restrained eating. Results showed that SNS body talk was positively associated with restrained eating. FNAE and body shame mediated the association between SNS body talk and restrained eating, separately and serially. Furthermore, gender difference emerged in the path from SNS body talk to body shame and the path from FNAE to body shame. Findings of the present study enrich the literature on social media and body image and eating behaviors, and have important implications for reducing negative body image and disordered eating among adolescents.
本研究旨在探讨社交网站上的身体交流（社交网站身体交流）与节制饮食之间的联系，以及负面外表评价恐惧（FNAE）和身体羞耻感在这种关系中的中介作用。此外，还考察了性别在中介模型中的调节作用。1481名中国中小学生（720名女生，平均年龄 = 15.49 ± 1.84）完成了关于社交网站身体交流、FNAE、身体羞耻感和节制饮食的自我报告测量。结果表明，社交网站身体交流与节制饮食呈正相关。FNAE和身体羞耻感分别和依次中介了社交网站身体交流与节制饮食之间的关联。此外，在从社交网站身体交流到身体羞耻感的路径以及从FNAE到身体羞耻感的路径中出现了性别差异。本研究结果丰富了关于社交媒体与身体形象及饮食行为的文献，并对减少青少年的负面身体形象和饮食失调具有重要意义。
