Abstract

Although body-positive content is associated with increased positive body image, concerns regarding the continued focus on appearance have emerged. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine whether self-compassion text-only content provided benefits beyond traditional photo-based body positivity content. Undergraduates (n = 283; 179 women, 104 men) were randomly assigned to view body positive photos, self-compassion text-only content, or architectural images (control condition). Participants assigned to both experimental conditions demonstrated a significant increase in measures of state body appreciation, state body satisfaction, and state self-compassion, however they did not differ significantly from each other. The self-compassion condition also differed significantly from the control condition. Trait appearance comparisons moderated the relationship between experimental condition and state body appreciation and state body satisfaction, and gender did not affect the relationship between condition and the outcome measures. Results of this study support the inclusion of body-positivity images and self-compassion text-only content in social media interventions for improving body image for men and women.

自爱硬币的两面:纯文字的自怜帖子和基于身体正面照片的内容都会对身体形象产生积极影响
虽然身体正面内容与身体正面形象的提升有关,但人们对持续关注外貌也产生了担忧。因此,本研究旨在探讨纯文字的自我同情内容是否比传统的以照片为基础的身体正面内容更有益处。本科生(n = 283;179 名女性,104 名男性)被随机分配到观看正面身体照片、自我同情纯文字内容或建筑图片(对照条件)。被分配到两种实验条件下的参与者在身体状态欣赏度、身体状态满意度和身体状态自我同情方面都有显著提高,但它们之间没有明显差异。自我同情条件与对照条件也有显著差异。特质外观比较调节了实验条件与状态身体欣赏和状态身体满意度之间的关系,而性别并不影响实验条件与结果测量之间的关系。这项研究的结果支持在社交媒体干预中加入身体积极性图片和自我同情纯文字内容,以改善男性和女性的身体形象。

期刊介绍: Body Image is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality, scientific articles on body image and human physical appearance. Body Image is a multi-faceted concept that refers to persons perceptions and attitudes about their own body, particularly but not exclusively its appearance. The journal invites contributions from a broad range of disciplines-psychological science, other social and behavioral sciences, and medical and health sciences. The journal publishes original research articles, brief research reports, theoretical and review papers, and science-based practitioner reports of interest. Dissertation abstracts are also published online, and the journal gives an annual award for the best doctoral dissertation in this field.
