How does my daughter describe the comments about appearance she hears at home?
Daughters’ perceptions of weight-related teasing are examined alongside maternal strategies, preserving a distinction between a parent’s intent and what the child hears.
Who was studied?
One hundred and sixty-eight Hispanic mother-daughter pairs completing independent surveys.
Age / stage: Mothers and daughters
Read with three questions
- How did the researchers distinguish a mother's strategy from a daughter’s experience of teasing?
- Which parts of the interaction were directly observed and which were inferred or reported?
- How does my daughter describe the comments about appearance she hears at home?
