This study aimed to determine whether negative coping styles and negative physical self sequentially mediate the relationship between peer teasing and restrained eating among Chinese university students. In total, 1127 participants (66.9% women, average age = 18.43 years; age range, 14-26 years) completed the Perception of Teasing Scale, Coping Style Questionnaire, Negative Physical Self Scale, and the Chinese version of the Restraint Scale. The mediational analysis showed that, after controlling for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI), peer teasing was related to restrained eating behaviors through (a) the mediating effect of negative coping styles, (b) the mediating effect of negative physical self, and (c) the chain-mediating effect of negative coping styles and negative physical self. This study showed for the first time that negative coping styles and negative physical self may chain mediate the association between peer teasing and restrained eating. It also provides suggestions for clinical practices as to strategies for controlling restrained eating.
本研究旨在确定消极应对方式和消极身体自我是否依次在同伴嘲笑与中国大学生的节制饮食之间起中介作用。共有 1127 名参与者（66.9%为女性，平均年龄=18.43 岁；年龄范围为 14-26 岁）完成了同伴嘲笑感知量表、应对方式问卷、消极身体自我量表和中文版节制饮食量表。中介分析显示，在控制年龄、性别和体重指数（BMI）后，同伴嘲笑通过（a）消极应对方式的中介作用，（b）消极身体自我的中介作用，以及（c）消极应对方式和消极身体自我的链式中介作用与节制饮食行为相关。本研究首次表明，消极应对方式和消极身体自我可能在同伴嘲笑与节制饮食之间起链式中介作用。它还为控制节制饮食的临床实践提供了策略建议。
