Using the sociocultural model and risk and resilience theory, we examined the moderating role of Latinas’ family relationship quality on the associations between negative eating and weight messages from fathers, mothers, and sisters, and Latinas’ body image shame. Utilizing Amazon Mechanical Turk, we recruited a sample of 195 Latina young adults (M_age = 23.24, range = 18 −25; SD = 1.95; 67.4 % Mexican-origin) who reported retrospectively on negative appearance-related messages from each family member (i.e., fathers, mothers, and sisters), positive (e.g., parental warmth and sibling intimacy) and negative (i.e., parental psychological control and sibling negativity) relationship quality with parents and sisters, and current body image shame. Hierarchical linear regression analyses revealed that negative eating and weight messages from fathers, mothers, and sisters and sibling negativity were positively and significantly associated with Latinas’ body image shame. Further, we found that under conditions of high paternal psychological control but not low, the associations between fathers’ messages and Latinas’ body image shame were strengthened. For mothers, under conditions of low maternal psychological control but not high, the associations between mothers’ messages and Latinas’ body image shame were strengthened. Our findings reveal that family members’ negative comments are harmful for Latinas’ body image.

使用社会文化模型和风险和复原力理论，我们研究了拉丁裔家庭关系质量对来自父亲、母亲和姐妹的负面饮食和体重信息以及拉丁裔身体形象羞耻之间的关联的调节作用。利用 Amazon Mechanical Turk，我们招募了 195 名拉丁裔年轻人的样本（M_年龄= 23.24，范围= 18 -25；SD= 1.95; 67.4% 的墨西哥裔）回顾性地报告了来自每个家庭成员（即父亲、母亲和姐妹）、正面（例如父母温暖和兄弟姐妹亲密）和负面（即父母心理控制和兄弟姐妹）的负面外表相关信息消极性）与父母和姐妹的关系质量，以及当前的身体形象羞耻。分层线性回归分析显示，来自父亲、母亲和姐妹的负面饮食和体重信息以及兄弟姐妹的负面情绪与拉丁裔的身体形象羞耻呈正相关且显着相关。此外，我们发现在父亲心理控制高但不低的条件下，父亲的信息与拉丁裔身体形象羞耻之间的关联得到了加强。对于妈妈来说，在母性心理控制力低但不高的情况下，母亲的信息与拉丁裔的身体形象羞耻之间的联系得到了加强。我们的研究结果表明，家庭成员的负面评论对拉丁裔的身体形象有害。
