身体羞耻已被证明在成年女性的童年身体和性虐待经历与抑郁症之间的关系中起着中介作用（Andrews，1995）。目前的研究调查了69名青少年和年轻成年女性的社区样本中，这种羞耻感在儿童虐待和贪食症之间的关系中的作用。在这个年轻的样本中，身体羞耻和童年虐待之间存在显着的关联，这种关联不能用身体的不满来解释。此外，身体羞耻与DSM-III暴食症显著相关，这种关系也不能用身体不满来解释。童年虐待与暴食症有着显著的联系，但一旦考虑到身体羞耻，这种联系就不再明显了。结果表明，身体羞耻感可能是早期虐待和暴食症之间的中介，但这需要在纵向研究中进一步证实。
Bodily shame has been shown to play a mediating role in the relationship between experiences of childhood physical and sexual abuse and depression in mature women (Andrews, 1995). The current study investigated the role of such shame in the relationship between childhood abuse and bulimia in a community sample of 69 teenage and young adult women. A significant association between bodily shame and childhood abuse was replicated in this younger sample, an association which could not be explained by bodily dissatisfaction. In addition, bodily shame was significantly related to DSM-III bulimia, and this relationship could also not be explained by bodily dissatisfaction. Childhood abuse showed a significant association with bulimia, but this was no longer apparent once bodily shame had been taken into account. The results suggest bodily shame may act as a mediator between early abuse and bulimia, but this requires further confirmation in a longitudinal study.
