Digital media use represents a central part of young adults’ daily life, within which social interactions increasingly center on visual content. While visual content, such as representations of self, may facilitate positive social interactivity, it may also increase susceptibility to harmful social interactions, such as appearance-related online victimization. Black women’s bodies are often the target of gendered racial microaggressions and sexual victimization which can contribute to body image concerns. Still, the online victimization–body esteem link among Black women remains unexamined. This study used structural equation modeling to examine the associations between four categories of online victimization (i.e., general online victimization, online individual racial victimization, online vicarious racial victimization, online sexual victimization) and body esteem. We further examined whether womanism, an identity-based factor, moderated the relationship between online victimization and body esteem. A sample of 1,595 young Black women completed an online survey. Results showed that online sexual victimization was significantly negatively associated with body esteem and that high levels of womanism buffered the harmful impact of general online victimization on body esteem. Future research is needed to examine Black women’s and gender expansive people’s experiences with online gendered racial victimization along with other forms of online intersectional oppression.

年轻黑人女性的在线受害、女性主义和身体自尊:一种结构方程建模方法

数字媒体的使用代表了年轻人日常生活的核心部分,其中社交互动越来越集中在视觉内容上。虽然视觉内容(例如自我表现)可以促进积极的社会互动,但它也可能增加对有害社会互动的敏感性,例如与外表相关的在线受害。黑人女性的身体通常是性别种族微攻击和性侵害的目标,这可能会导致身体形象问题。尽管如此,黑人女性之间的网络受害与身体自尊之间的联系仍未得到检验。本研究使用结构方程模型来检验四类网络受害(即一般网络受害、网络个人种族受害、网络替代种族受害、在线性受害)和身体自尊。我们进一步研究了女性主义(一种基于身份的因素)是否调节了网络受害与身体自尊之间的关系。1,595 名年轻黑人女性的样本完成了一项在线调查。结果表明,在线性受害与身体自尊显着负相关,高水平的女性主义缓冲了一般在线受害对身体自尊的有害影响。未来的研究需要检查黑人女性和性别膨胀的人在网络性别种族受害以及其他形式的网络交叉压迫方面的经历。595 名年轻的黑人女性完成了一项在线调查。结果表明,在线性受害与身体自尊显着负相关,高水平的女性主义缓冲了一般在线受害对身体自尊的有害影响。未来的研究需要检查黑人女性和性别膨胀的人在网络性别种族受害以及其他形式的网络交叉压迫方面的经历。595 名年轻的黑人女性完成了一项在线调查。结果表明,在线性受害与身体自尊显着负相关,高水平的女性主义缓冲了一般在线受害对身体自尊的有害影响。未来的研究需要检查黑人女性和性别膨胀的人在网络性别种族受害以及其他形式的网络交叉压迫方面的经历。
