Prospective Associations of Appearance‐Related Teasing With Eating Disorder Psychopathology, Eating‐Related Psychosocial Impairment, and Psychological Distress in Chinese Adults: Both Teasing Victimization and Perpetration Matter
Findings suggest that both victimization and perpetration of weight and muscularity teasing were prospectively associated with one or more outcome variables, including ED psychopathology, eating-related psychosocial impairment, and psychological distress. Future research and interventions should address both victimization and perpetration in appearance-related teasing to enhance our understanding and mitigate its adverse effects on eating behaviors and mental health.
