INTRODUCTION The present study examined the relationships between bullying victimization experiences, body esteem (BE), and body dissatisfaction (BD) by obesity status. METHODS Using a cross-sectional design, adolescents (10-16y) from the U.S. completed surveys. Weight and height were objectively assessed. Bullying was assessed using the Personal Experiences Checklist, with a total score that included three subscales (cyber, verbal-relational, and physical). BE was assessed using total score on the BE Scale, and BD was assessed using the Body Image Assessment for Pre-Adolescents, operationalized as the discrepancy between current and ideal body figure. Linear regression models, controlling for sociodemographics, were used to examine obesity status (with vs. without obesity) and sex as moderators of the relationships between bullying, BE, and BD. RESULTS On average, adolescents (n = 328) were 12.6 ± 1.9 y, 45.4% male, 58.2% White, 35.7% Black, and 36.0% had obesity. Obesity status moderated the relationship between bullying experiences and BE, such that these relationships were only significant (B = -0.38, p<.05) among adolescents with obesity compared to adolescents without obesity. In both groups, greater verbal-relational bullying experiences were associated with lower BE, while greater physical bullying experiences were related to higher BE only among adolescents with obesity. In adolescent girls without obesity, greater cyberbullying experiences were associated with lower BD. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest different associations between sub-types of bullying victimization experiences and BE and BD, highlighting the importance of examining these associations separately by obesity status.

青少年欺凌经历、身体自尊、身体不满和体重状况的调节作用。

引言 本研究通过肥胖状况检查了欺凌受害经历、身体自尊 (BE) 和身体不满意 (BD) 之间的关系。方法 使用横断面设计，来自美国的青少年（10-16 岁）完成了调查。客观评估体重和身高。欺凌是使用个人经历清单评估的，总分包括三个分量表（网络、语言关系和身体）。BE 使用 BE 量表的总分进行评估，BD 使用青春期前的身体形象评估进行评估，可操作为当前和理想体型之间的差异。控制社会人口统计学的线性回归模型用于检查肥胖状况（有与没有肥胖）和性别作为欺凌、BE 和 BD 之间关系的调节因子。结果平均而言，青少年（n = 328）为 12.6 ± 1.9 岁，45.4% 男性，58.2% 白人，35.7% 黑人，36.0% 患有肥胖症。肥胖状况缓和了欺凌经历与 BE 之间的关系，因此与没有肥胖的青少年相比，这些关系仅在肥胖青少年中显着（B = -0.38，p<.05）。在两组中，更多的言语关系欺凌经历与较低的 BE 相关，而更多的身体欺凌经历仅与肥胖青少年的较高 BE 相关。在没有肥胖的青春期女孩中，更多的网络欺凌经历与较低的 BD 相关。结论 研究结果表明欺凌受害经历的亚型与 BE 和 BD 之间存在不同的关联，
