Overview

Three-wave study examines how self-objectification affects depressive symptoms in adolescents, highlighting body shame and peer connectedness.

Key Points

The study aimed to investigate the connection between self-objectification and depressive symptoms through body shame and self-disgust among adolescents.
1181 Chinese adolescents completed measures at three time points: self-objectification and peer connectedness at Time 1, body shame and self-disgust at Time 2, and depressive symptoms at Time 3.
Path analysis within a structural equation modeling framework was utilized, controlling for gender and grade.
Network analysis explored associations between body shame and self-disgust.
Self-objectification was directly and indirectly associated with depressive symptoms through body shame and self-disgust.
Perceived peer connectedness modestly attenuated the association between self-objectification and body shame.
Network analysis revealed significant item-level associations between body shame and self-disgust.
