身体欣赏缓解女性身体不满意

The Protective Role of Body Appreciation against Body Dissatisfaction

以60名高水平和低水平身体欣赏女性为被试,以“瘦理想”图片为实验材料,对被试进行媒体曝光(观看“瘦理想”图片),旨在探讨瘦理想图片对高、低身体欣赏水平女性身体满意度的影响。结果发现,观看“瘦理想”图片后,女性身体欣赏水平能预测其身体满意度的变化,进行媒体曝光对不同身体欣赏水平女性身体满意度的影响不同,即身体欣赏低分组身体满意度显著降低,而身体欣赏高分组身体满意度没有显著变化。以上结果表明,媒体曝光后,身体欣赏缓解女性的身体不满意。

We selected 60 female college students, who are high-level and low-level body appreciation. We used thin idealized picture to media exposure. The present study aimed at exploring the influence of thin idealized picture on body dissatisfaction between high-level and low-level body appreciation groups. Results indicated that body appreciation predicted change in body dissatisfaction following exposure to the thin ideal. The impact of media exposure on different groups is different, and the body satisfaction was significantly reduced in low-level group, while the body satisfaction did not significantly change in high-level group. The results support the notion that body appreciation protects women from thin idealized media exposure.
