The Influence Mechanism of Weight Self-stigma on Adolescents'Exercise Avoidance:An Empirical Analysis Based on the Transactional Theory of Stress and Coping
Although weight self-stigma has become a hot topic in the current research field of overweight/obesity,most studies are still limited to exploring the influence mechanism of weight self-stigma on college students and adults'exercise avoidance from the cognitive perspective,namely weight identity threat,internalized social attitude,and exercise motivation.Based on the transactional theory of stress and coping,839 adolescents were investigated to explore the influence mechanism of weight self-stigma on adolescents'exercise avoidance from the perspective of so-cial appearance anxiety.The results showed that:(1)Weight self-stigma had a significant positive effect on adolescents'exercise avoidance;(2)Fear of negative appearance evaluation had a partial mediating effect on the relationship between weight self-stigma and adolescents'exercise avoidance;(3)Social-emotional competency had a negative moderating effect between fear of negative appearance evaluation and adolescents'exercise avoidance;(4)Weight self-stigma effected adolescents'exercise avoidance through fear of negative appearance evaluation,which was moderated by social-emotional competency that acted as a moderated-mediator.This study not only ex-panded the theoretical space of weight self-stigma,but also provided the practical enlightenment for the government,schools and families to prevent exercise avoidance of adolescents with weight self-stigma.
