Adolescent females' dyadic conversations about body, weight, and appearance.
The purpose of this observational study was to examine body talk between adolescent female dyads aged 13-17. Reciprocally nominated dyads were recruited from a southeastern US high school. Themes that emerged were related to weight, appearance, and personality. The authors concluded that their results provided insight into the social context in which sociocultural norms of weight stigma, body dissatisfaction, and eating-related psychopathology may be reinforced, and that these findings have implications for informing the development of interventions to reduce negative weight- and appearance-related body talk among adolescent girls.
