The interpretive study reported in this article focused on the process by which mothers and daughters interact about body and dieting. In-depth interviews were conducted with 20 mothers and their adolescent daughters. Constant comparison analysis of data revealed four patterns of mother - daughter interaction about body and dieting : (a) the direct verbal approach, including encouragement / facilitation, dissuasion, and fault - finding messages ; (b) the avoidance / guardedness approach ; (c) the modeling approach ; and (d) the laissez - faire approach. These four patterns of communication varied in terms of content and were used in different contexts and combinations. These mother - daughter interactions : (a) were shaped by mothers’ and daughters’ thoughts about the self, the other, and the mother - daughter relationship ; (b) were used by mothers and daughters to plan future interactions with one another ; and (c) served to guide lines of personal action with respect to dieting, especially in the case of daughters.
