Previous work has examined the relations between feminism, feminine gender roles, and body image concerns with inconclusive findings. The purpose of this study was to conduct an updated meta-analysis of the relation between feminist identity and negative embodiment, and to conduct new analyses to test how endorsement of femininity relates to negative embodiment. Through the technique of meta-analysis, we analyzed 80 studies (87 samples, N = 24,308) and 217 effect sizes to examine these associations. The predictor variables were measures of feminist identity and endorsement of femininity. The negative embodiment criterion variables were measures of body dissatisfaction, self-objectification, internalization of cultural body ideals, and disordered eating attitudes. Feminist identity was found to be negatively associated with negative embodiment, but only modestly, with small but significant effect sizes across most variables. Endorsement of femininity was found to be positively associated with negative embodiment, with mostly significant effect sizes ranging from small to large. These findings underscore the importance of considering the roles of feminist identity and traditional gender ideology in the etiology and prevention of women’s experiences of negative embodiment.

以前的工作研究了女权主义、女性性别角色和身体形象问题之间的关系，但结果尚无定论。本研究的目的是对女权主义身份与消极体现之间的关系进行更新的荟萃分析，并进行新的分析以测试对女性气质的认可与消极体现的关系。通过荟萃分析技术，我们分析了 80 项研究 （87 个样本，N = 24,308） 和 217 个效应量，以检查这些关联。预测变量是女权主义身份和对女性气质的认可度。消极体现标准变量是身体不满、自我客体化、文化身体理想的内化和饮食无序态度的测量。发现女权主义身份与消极体现呈负相关，但程度不大，在大多数变量中具有较小但显着的效应量。发现对女性气质的认可与消极体现呈正相关，大多数显着效应大小从小到大不等。这些发现强调了考虑女权主义身份和传统性别意识形态在女性负面体现经历的病因和预防中的作用的重要性。
