Body esteem, weight control, and parent norms 1
Abstract
This study examines the role of direct and indirect parent norms on children’s body
esteem and unhealthy weight control behaviors (restricting fat, excessive exercise, and skipping
meals). Direct norms include comments concerning weight and encouragement to lose weight,
and indirect norms include attitudes toward thinness and acceptance of unhealthy weight control
behaviors. A clear relationship was found between parent norms and body esteem with
encouragement, thinness and acceptance norms predicting low body esteem in children.
