Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals experience disproportionate rates of body image concerns and eating disorders. Several useful theoretical frameworks have been developed to account for these increased rates, that, together, highlight the role of appearance concerns and negative affect as two principal factors in the development of these concerns. From these perspectives, eating disorders in TGD people may be understood as stemming from behavioral attempts to (1) modify appearance to bring the body closer to capital-bearing appearance ideals and/or avoid discrimination and objectification, and (2) regulate the negative affect related to daily stress, discrimination, trauma, and oppression. These theoretical pathways provide a framework for refining risk and protection models of body image concerns and eating disorders in TGD people, with the goal of advancing identification, prevention, and treatment, and improving the prioritization of resource allocation.
跨性别和性别多样化(TGD)个体对身体形象的担忧和饮食失调的比例不成比例。已经开发了几个有用的理论框架来解释这些增加的比率,它们共同强调了外观问题和负面影响作为这些问题发展的两个主要因素的作用。从这些角度来看,TGD患者的饮食失调可以理解为源于行为尝试(1)改变外表,使身体更接近资本的外表理想和/或避免歧视和物化;(2)调节与日常压力、歧视、创伤和压迫相关的负面影响。这些理论途径为完善TGD患者身体形象担忧和饮食失调的风险和保护模型提供了一个框架,目的是推进识别、预防和治疗,并提高资源分配的优先级。

Virtual feasts and their impact: A pilot study on the influence of mukbang videos on eating behaviours, body image, and emotional wellbeing 虚拟盛宴及其影响:一项关于吃饭视频对饮食行为、身体形象和情绪健康影响的试点研究

Mukbangs (i.e., ‘eating broadcast’) is a food-related social media trend often featuring a host consuming large amounts of food. This pilot study used the first pre-post experimental design to examine the immediate effects of watching a mukbang video on eating intentions, body image, affect, and anxiety, while exploring behavioural impulsivity as a potential moderator. Participants recruited from an Australian university (N = 327; M age = 19.5 years, SD = 2.8; 59.6 % female) completed a baseline survey assessing demographic information and current mukbang engagement (e.g., frequency, duration). Participants then completed a computerised paradigm (Go/No-Go Task) as a measurement of behavioural impulsivity. Following the task, participants’ state-level urges to engage in disordered eating (DE), body dissatisfaction (BD), affect, and anxiety were measured prior and post-exposure to a 10-minute mukbang video (featuring a gender-matched mukbang host). Results showed significant reductions in DE urges and positive affect following exposure. Specifically, females showed a decrease in dietary restraint, and males in urge to overeat and exercise for weight control. No significant changes were observed for BD, negative affect, or anxiety, and no moderating effects emerged for behavioural impulsivity. These findings suggest that the effects of mukbang exposure may vary across specific DE urges and differ by gender, as examined in separate analyses. The absence of impulsivity effects further implies that trait impulsivity may have a limited influence in brief, low-stakes media contexts. Future research should explore potential moderators such as social comparison and habituation and employ longitudinal designs to evaluate the cumulative impact of mukbang viewing.
Mukbangs(即“吃直播”)是一种与食物相关的社交媒体趋势,通常以主持人消耗大量食物为特征。这项试点研究采用了第一个前后实验设计,以检验观看吃bang视频对饮食意图、身体形象、情感和焦虑的直接影响,同时探索行为冲动作为潜在的调节因素。从澳大利亚一所大学招募的参与者(N = 327;M年龄= 19.5岁,SD = 2.8; 59.6% %为女性)完成了一项基线调查,评估了人口统计信息和当前的mukbang参与度(如频率、持续时间)。然后,参与者完成了一个计算机化的范式(Go/No-Go任务),作为对行为冲动的衡量。任务结束后,参与者在观看10分钟的吃弹视频(由性别匹配的吃弹主持人主持)之前和之后,测量了他们对饮食失调(DE)、身体不满(BD)、情感和焦虑的国家级冲动。结果显示,暴露后DE冲动和积极影响显著减少。具体来说,女性表现出饮食限制的减少,男性表现出暴饮暴食和锻炼体重控制的冲动。在双相障碍、负面情绪或焦虑方面没有观察到显著的变化,在行为冲动方面也没有出现缓和作用。这些发现表明,在单独的分析中,mukbang暴露的影响可能因特定的DE冲动而异,并因性别而异。冲动性效应的缺失进一步表明,冲动性特质在简短、低风险的媒体情境中可能影响有限。未来的研究应探索社会比较和习惯化等潜在的调节因素,并采用纵向设计来评估看家家的累积影响。

Beyond screen-time: Exploring how appearance-related social media consciousness shapes Chinese adolescents’ subjective well-being through individual differences in age, gender, and functionality appreciation 在屏幕时间之外:探索与外表相关的社交媒体意识如何通过年龄、性别和功能欣赏的个体差异塑造中国青少年的主观幸福感

An increasing body of research indicates that online appearance preoccupation may adversely affect adolescents’ well-being. However, longitudinal evidence examining the relationship between appearance-related social media consciousness (ASMC) and subsequent subjective well-being (SWB) remains limited, and it is unclear how this association varies according to individual characteristics. Therefore, this longitudinal study examined the association between ASMC and SWB among adolescents, explored age and gender differences, and evaluated the moderating role of functionality appreciation (FA). A total of 1103 Chinese adolescents (50.1 % boys; baseline Mage = 14.90 years) provided data at baseline (T1) and 12 months later (T2). ASMC, SWB, and FA were measured using self-report questionnaires. Cross-lagged panel model (CLPM), multiple-group analyses, and moderation analyses were conducted. The CLPM showed that ASMC T1 was associated with lower SWB T2, with no reverse effect. This effect remained robust after controlling for social media use. Significant age group differences emerged: the association was stronger among early adolescents (12–15 years) than among mid-to-late adolescents (16–18 years); no gender differences emerged. Moreover, higher FA strengthened the negative cross-lagged association between ASMC T1 and SWB T2. These findings highlight a negative longitudinal association between ASMC and SWB, underscore the nuanced interplay between online appearance concerns and body functionality in adolescent well-being, and indicate the need for targeted interventions to mitigate these potential risks.
越来越多的研究表明,对网络外表的关注可能会对青少年的健康产生不利影响。然而,研究外貌相关的社交媒体意识(ASMC)与随后的主观幸福感(SWB)之间关系的纵向证据仍然有限,而且尚不清楚这种关联如何根据个人特征而变化。因此,本研究考察了青少年ASMC与主观幸福感之间的关系,探讨了年龄和性别差异,并评估了功能欣赏(FA)的调节作用。共有1103名中国青少年(50.1% %为男孩;基线年龄= 14.90岁)提供了基线(T1)和12个月后(T2)的数据。ASMC、SWB和FA采用自我报告问卷进行测量。进行了交叉滞后面板模型(CLPM)、多组分析和调节分析。CLPM显示ASMC T1与较低的SWB T2相关,无反向作用。在控制了社交媒体的使用后,这一效应仍然很强。出现了显著的年龄组差异:青少年早期(12-15岁)的相关性强于青少年中后期(16-18岁);没有性别差异。此外,高FA强化了ASMC T1和SWB T2之间的负交叉滞后关联。这些发现强调了ASMC和SWB之间的负纵向关联,强调了青少年健康中在线外观关注与身体功能之间微妙的相互作用,并表明需要有针对性的干预措施来减轻这些潜在风险。

From sexualization to appreciation: Contributions of television content featuring Black or White female characters to diverse body concerns among Black women 从性化到欣赏:黑人或白人女性角色的电视内容对黑人女性多样化身体关注的贡献。
IF 5.4 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-30 DOI: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2025.102028

Female TV characters commonly represent a Eurocentric beauty ideal characterized by thinness, light skin, long hair, and a curvaceous body. As this ideal does not apply to many Black women, who are also frequent media consumers, theories might anticipate that they would feel deeply inadequate by comparison. However, evidence is limited and mixed, suggesting that associations may depend on the body image domain, the cast’s racial makeup, and the viewer’s ethnic/racial identity. To test these suppositions, we surveyed 515 Black women ages 18–40 on their consumption of popular TV programs featuring White and Black casts and four domains of body image: body size concerns, self-sexualization, body appreciation, and acceptance of Eurocentric beauty norms. We also examined the potential moderating role of ethnic/racial identity. As expected, results differed across body image variables, and cast racial makeup was influential. Viewing casts dominated by Eurocentric appearance norms predicted greater body size concerns; viewing casts featuring more Black women predicted greater body appreciation and less body surveillance. Viewing both types of content was associated with greater self-sexualization. Participants’ ethnic/racial identity did not moderate these relations. These results underscore the need for more research on these issues and more attention from showrunners on the impact of TV content on Black women’s relationships with their bodies.
女性电视角色通常代表着以苗条、浅色皮肤、长发和曲线优美的身体为特征的欧洲中心审美理想。由于这种理想并不适用于许多黑人女性,她们也是频繁的媒体消费者,理论可能会预测,相比之下,她们会感到非常不足。然而,证据有限且混杂,表明这种联系可能取决于身体形象领域、演员的种族构成和观众的民族/种族身份。为了验证这些假设,我们调查了515名年龄在18-40岁之间的黑人女性对以白人和黑人演员为主角的流行电视节目的消费情况,以及身体形象的四个领域:体型关注、自我性化、身体欣赏和对欧洲中心审美标准的接受程度。我们还研究了民族/种族认同的潜在调节作用。正如预期的那样,不同身体形象变量的结果不同,演员的种族构成是有影响的。以欧洲为中心的外貌规范所主导的观察模型预示着更大的体型担忧;观看更多黑人女性的节目预示着更多的身体欣赏和更少的身体监视。观看这两种类型的内容与更大的自我性化有关。参与者的民族/种族身份并没有缓和这些关系。这些结果强调了对这些问题进行更多研究的必要性,以及制片人对电视内容对黑人女性与身体关系的影响的更多关注。

Unraveling the multimodal features and audience responses to thinspiration videos: A computational analysis of Chinese TikTok (Douyin) 解开thinspiration视频的多模态特征和受众反应:对中国抖音的计算分析。

Short-video social media platforms have emerged as powerful channels for disseminating body image-related content, particularly the thin ideal. Yet much of the existing research has focused on individual-level usage patterns rather than the platform-level mechanisms that shape content exposure. A platform-level perspective, however, is crucial for understanding how body image messages are algorithmically curated and how multimodal features influence audience responses. To address this gap, we developed a computational framework comprising body iconography, communication strategies, and audiovisual aesthetics to investigate thinspiration videos on Douyin (Chinese TikTok). Specifically, integrating computer vision, natural language processing, large language models, and audio signal processing, we extracted textual, visual, and auditory features from 757 trending thinspiration videos tagged with #thin and linked these features to nearly three million associated comments to assess large-scale audience responses. Results showed that trending thinspiration videos promoted the thin-ideal, along with the fit-ideal and beauty-ideal, often with gendered portrayals of the human body. Multimodal features such as body size, evaluative rhetoric (thin-praise, fat-stigma), and specific aesthetic patterns were significantly associated with engagement metrics (likes, comments, reshares) or the prevalence of appearance-focused comments. Gender differences were pronounced: female-focused videos featured smaller body sizes, higher beauty scores, and greater objectification, whereas male-focused videos emphasized muscularity and informational framing. This study advances understanding of body image formation in algorithmically mediated environments and offers a scalable methodological framework for multimodal content analysis. The findings offer insights for content creators, platform regulators, and policymakers to promote healthier digital body image environments.
短视频社交媒体平台已经成为传播身体形象相关内容的有力渠道,尤其是瘦身理想。然而,现有的许多研究都侧重于个人层面的使用模式,而不是影响内容曝光的平台层面机制。然而,平台层面的视角对于理解身体图像信息如何通过算法进行编排以及多模态特征如何影响受众的反应至关重要。为了解决这一差距,我们开发了一个计算框架,包括身体图像、沟通策略和视听美学,以调查抖音(中国TikTok)上的thinspiration视频。具体来说,我们整合了计算机视觉、自然语言处理、大型语言模型和音频信号处理,从757个标记为#thin的热门thinspiration视频中提取了文本、视觉和听觉特征,并将这些特征与近300万条相关评论联系起来,以评估大规模观众的反应。结果显示,流行的瘦身视频推广了理想身材,以及理想身材和理想美貌,通常带有对人体的性别描绘。多模态特征,如体型、评价修辞(瘦的赞美、胖的羞辱)和特定的审美模式,与参与指标(喜欢、评论、分享)或以外表为中心的评论的流行程度显著相关。性别差异是明显的:以女性为重点的视频以更小的体型、更高的美貌得分和更大的物化为特色,而以男性为重点的视频则强调肌肉和信息框架。这项研究促进了对算法介导环境中身体图像形成的理解,并为多模态内容分析提供了一个可扩展的方法框架。这些发现为内容创作者、平台监管机构和政策制定者提供了见解,以促进更健康的数字身体图像环境。

The Body Appreciation Scale-2 for Children (BAS-2C) is a widely used, psychometrically robust measure of body appreciation in children. However, in time-limited or school-based settings, briefer measures may reduce participant burden and improve data quality. This study examined the psychometric properties of two three-item trait short forms of body appreciation among Australian children aged 10–12 years (N = 303), using data from a larger project evaluating a school-based body image intervention. Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA) and multi-group CFA tested whether the short forms replicated the BAS-2C’s unidimensional, gender invariant factor structure. Further assessments of psychometric properties involved composite reliability (McDonald’s ω), four-week test-retest reliability, construct and convergent validity. For both 3-item forms, findings supported a unidimensional, gender-invariant factor structure. Reliability was acceptable for girls but weaker for boys. Validity evidence was strong, with strong correlations with the 10-item BAS-2C and moderate-to-strong correlations with related constructs of functionality appreciation, self-compassion, and wellbeing. Overall, findings provide preliminary support for both 3-item short forms for brief, group-level use with children aged 10–12, but caution should be applied given the weaker reliability for boys across both short forms. Future research should refine items with a view to enhancing reliability for boys.
儿童身体欣赏量表-2 (BAS-2C)是一种广泛使用的儿童身体欣赏心理测量方法。然而,在时间有限或以学校为基础的情况下,较简短的措施可以减轻参与者的负担并提高数据质量。本研究考察了澳大利亚10-12岁儿童的两种三项特质简短形式的身体欣赏的心理测量特性(N = 303),使用的数据来自一个更大的评估学校身体形象干预的项目。验证性因子分析(Confirmatory Factor analysis, CFA)和多组验证性因子分析(multi-group CFA)检验短表是否复制了BAS-2C的单维、性别不变的因子结构。进一步的心理测量特性评估包括复合信度(McDonald's ω)、四周测试-重测信度、结构和收敛效度。对于这两个3项表格,调查结果支持单向度,性别不变的因素结构。可靠性对女孩来说是可以接受的,但对男孩来说较弱。效度证据很强,与10项BAS-2C有很强的相关性,与功能欣赏、自我同情和幸福感的相关构念有中等到强的相关性。总的来说,研究结果为10-12岁儿童使用3项简短形式提供了初步支持,但考虑到两种简短形式对男孩的可靠性较低,应谨慎使用。未来的研究应该改进项目,以提高男孩的可靠性。

Future research should refine items with a view to enhancing reliability for boys.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48312,"journal":{"name":"Body Image","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 102023"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145783458","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Athletes face a unique set of environmental, interpersonal, and performance-based appearance pressures that may increase risk for disordered eating. Frequent exposure to idealized body standards and performance expectations, within both athletic and broader sociocultural contexts, has been linked to body dissatisfaction and unhealthy eating behaviors, which may also be overlooked as “good athlete” behaviors. One framework for understanding such risk factors is the Tripartite Influence Model, which posits that societal appearance-related pressures are associated with body dissatisfaction and disordered eating via three specific pathways. The current study evaluates and extends the Tripartite Model to identify potential sociocultural pathways to disordered eating symptoms among athletes. The final sample consisted of 334 young adult athletes (73.35% female, 23.35% male, 3.30% another gender). Path analysis evaluated a model with previously supported sociocultural pressures in the general population (family, peers, media), combined with two sport-specific pressures (coaches, teammates) associated with five disordered eating outcomes—body dissatisfaction, binge eating, excessive exercise, restrictive eating, and cognitive restraint—via indirect effects through thin-ideal internalization, athletic-ideal internalization, and appearance comparisons. After minor adjustments to accommodate theoretically justified covariances (e.g., thin-ideal internalization and body dissatisfaction), the final model demonstrated acceptable fit (CFI = 0.96; TLI =.88; RMSEA = 0.075; SRMR = 0.060). Indirect effects revealed that family and media pressures were associated with multiple disordered eating outcomes via internalization and appearance comparison processes, while teammate pressure was indirectly associated with excessive exercise through athletic-ideal internalization, underscoring teammates as a salient source of sport-specific appearance pressure.
运动员面临着一系列独特的环境、人际关系和基于表现的外表压力,这些压力可能会增加饮食失调的风险。在运动和更广泛的社会文化背景下,经常接触理想化的身体标准和表现期望,与身体不满和不健康的饮食行为有关,这些行为也可能被忽视为“好运动员”的行为。理解这些风险因素的一个框架是“三方影响模型”,该模型假定与外貌相关的社会压力通过三个特定途径与身体不满和饮食失调相关联。目前的研究评估和扩展三方模型,以确定潜在的社会文化途径的饮食失调症状的运动员。最终样本由334名青年成年运动员组成,其中女性73.35%,男性23.35%,其他性别3.30%。通径分析评估了一个模型,该模型先前支持普通人群(家庭、同伴、媒体)的社会文化压力,结合两种运动特定压力(教练、队友)与五种饮食失调结果(身体不满、暴饮暴食、过度运动、限制性饮食和认知限制)相关,通过瘦理想内化、运动理想内化和外表比较的间接影响。经过轻微调整以适应理论上合理的协方差(例如,瘦理想内化和身体不满意),最终模型显示出可接受的拟合(CFI = 0.96; TLI = 0.88; RMSEA = 0.075; SRMR = 0.060)。间接效应表明,家庭和媒体压力通过内化和外表比较过程与多种饮食失调结果相关,而队友压力通过运动理想内化与过度运动间接相关,强调队友是运动特定外表压力的重要来源。

Not just bodies to be viewed, but bodies that do: A study on the Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS) in Italian adolescents 不仅仅是被观看的身体,而是被观看的身体:意大利青少年功能欣赏量表(FAS)的研究。
IF 5.4 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2025-12-12 DOI: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2025.102019

Functionality appreciation - a key facet of positive body image - has been associated with several adaptive outcomes, such as low body dissatisfaction and eating disorder (ED) symptoms, and high psychological well-being. However, research on this topic remains limited among Italian adolescents, likely due to the absence of validated tools to assess functionality appreciation in this population. Expanding this line of inquiry is crucial, as adolescence marks a shift toward valuing appearance over functionality, especially within Italy’s highly appearance-oriented culture. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Functionality Appreciation Scale (FAS) in a sample of 1289 Italian adolescents (60.8 % girls) aged 13–17 years (M = 15.4 years ± 1.18). Participants completed the FAS together with measures of body appreciation, body surveillance, body dissatisfaction, ED symptoms, and self-esteem. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a unidimensional model of the FAS, with all 7 items retained. Moreover, the questionnaire demonstrated invariance across sex and age groups (i.e., early vs. middle adolescents). Boys reported significantly higher FAS scores than girls, while no differences emerged between age groups. The FAS also showed excellent internal consistency, as well as good convergent, criterion-related, and incremental validity. Overall, these findings provide robust evidence that the FAS is a psychometrically sound and developmentally appropriate tool for assessing functionality appreciation in Italian boys and girls. Its use may thus support future research on positive body image in adolescence and lay the groundwork for studies exploring its potential relevance in preventive programs.
功能性欣赏——积极身体形象的一个关键方面——与一些适应性结果有关,如低身体不满和饮食失调(ED)症状,以及高心理健康。然而,关于这一主题的研究在意大利青少年中仍然有限,可能是由于缺乏有效的工具来评估这一人群的功能欣赏。扩大这一研究范围是至关重要的,因为青春期标志着对外表的重视超过了功能,尤其是在意大利高度注重外表的文化中。因此,本研究旨在研究1289名13-17岁的意大利青少年(M = 15.4岁±1.18岁)的功能欣赏量表(FAS)的因素结构和心理测量学特征,其中女生占60.8 %。参与者在完成FAS的同时,还完成了身体欣赏、身体监视、身体不满、ED症状和自尊的测量。探索性和验证性因素分析支持FAS的一维模型,保留了所有7个项目。此外,调查问卷显示了性别和年龄组(即青少年早期和中期)的不变性。男孩报告的FAS得分明显高于女孩,但不同年龄组之间没有差异。FAS也表现出良好的内部一致性,以及良好的收敛效度、标度相关效度和增量效度。总的来说,这些发现提供了强有力的证据,证明FAS是一种心理测量学上健全的、适合发展的工具,用于评估意大利男孩和女孩的功能欣赏。因此,它的使用可能会支持未来对青少年积极身体形象的研究,并为探索其在预防项目中的潜在相关性的研究奠定基础。

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming digital, clinical, and cultural landscapes in ways that hold significant implications for body image and eating disorder (ED) prevention. This article outlines how traditional and generative AI technologies influence societal appearance ideals as well as digital environments, including online mental health tools. While AI offers opportunities for early detection, personalized and scalable prevention, and the promotion of more inclusive representation, it also poses ethical and psychological risks, including amplification of harmful appearance ideals, algorithmic bias, and overreliance on technology. This article identifies key research priorities relevant to body image spanning macro-level impacts, emerging use cases, ethics and safety, equity and representation in datasets, public perceptions, and the need for interdisciplinary and participatory governance. As AI becomes embedded in everyday life, its responsible and safe use will be critical to ensuring it does not exacerbate body image concerns or increase ED risk.
人工智能(AI)正在迅速改变数字、临床和文化景观,对身体形象和饮食失调(ED)的预防产生重大影响。本文概述了传统和生成式人工智能技术如何影响社会外观理想以及数字环境,包括在线心理健康工具。虽然人工智能为早期发现、个性化和可扩展的预防提供了机会,并促进了更具包容性的代表性,但它也带来了伦理和心理风险,包括放大有害的外观理想、算法偏见和过度依赖技术。本文确定了与身体形象相关的主要研究重点,包括宏观层面的影响、新兴用例、伦理和安全、数据集的公平和代表性、公众认知以及跨学科和参与式治理的需求。随着人工智能融入日常生活,其负责任和安全的使用对于确保它不会加剧对身体形象的担忧或增加ED风险至关重要。

Vulnerability to appearance-based social media use and preoccupation: A model of young women’s appearance values, depression, and self-esteem via uses and gratification 对基于外表的社交媒体使用和关注的脆弱性:一个通过使用和满足的年轻女性外表价值、抑郁和自尊的模型
IF 5.4 1区 心理学 Q1 PSYCHIATRY Pub Date : 2026-03-01 Epub Date: 2026-01-31 DOI: 10.1016/j.bodyim.2026.102034

Theory and research suggest that women's general affective and appearance-related vulnerabilities are precursors of social media use, with the associations mediated by gratifications sought from social media, such as affection-seeking. To test this, we examined whether the vulnerabilities of low self-esteem, depression, thin-ideal internalisation, appearance perfectionism and appearance-contingent self-worth had indirect associations with appearance-based social media use/preoccupation via social media gratifications of escape, socialising, and affection-seeking. Social media use/preoccupation included general appearance-related activity, self-presentation, and social comparison when online. Participants were 405 young women (Mage = 19.95, SD = 2.70) who completed surveys. In a path model, all vulnerabilities but depressive symptoms were related to more escape and/or socialising gratification and there were three small indirect associations with appearance-based social media use/preoccupation, two for self-esteem (via escape and socialising) and one for thin-ideal internalisation (via socialising). In addition, the three appearance-specific individual vulnerability factors were directly related to appearance-based social media use/preoccupation. Overall, appearance-related vulnerabilities had mostly direct relations with increased appearance-based social media use/preoccupation. In contrast, self-esteem had indirect associations with appearance-based social media use/preoccupation, which were sometimes counterintuitive, and depressive symptoms had little unique impact on gratifications or on appearance-based social media use/preoccupation once other vulnerabilities had been considered.
理论和研究表明,女性普遍的情感和外貌脆弱性是使用社交媒体的先兆,而从社交媒体上寻求满足(如情感寻求)是这种关联的中介。为了验证这一点,我们研究了低自尊、抑郁、瘦理想内化、外表完美主义和外表偶然自我价值感的脆弱性是否与基于外表的社交媒体使用/通过逃避、社交和情感寻求等社交媒体满足而引起的关注有间接关联。社交媒体的使用/关注包括一般与外表相关的活动、自我展示和在线时的社会比较。参与者为405名完成调查的年轻女性(Mage = 19.95, SD = 2.70)。在路径模型中,除了抑郁症状外,所有的脆弱性都与更多的逃避和/或社交满足有关,与基于外表的社交媒体使用/专注有三个小的间接关联,两个与自尊有关(通过逃避和社交),一个与薄理想内化有关(通过社交)。此外,三个特定于外表的个体脆弱性因素与基于外表的社交媒体使用/关注直接相关。总体而言,与外表相关的漏洞与以外表为基础的社交媒体使用/关注的增加有直接关系。相比之下,自尊与基于外表的社交媒体使用/关注有间接联系,这有时是违反直觉的,一旦考虑到其他脆弱性,抑郁症状对满足感或基于外表的社交媒体使用/关注几乎没有独特的影响。
