摘要:

近年来, 男性身体意象失调越来越普遍, 大众媒体被认为是一种重要的影响因素。大量研究证实了媒体对男性身体意象的消极影响, 主要表现在对身体意象的认知、情绪情感和行为调控等方面。研究者基于社会文化理论提出三重影响模型(Thompson, Heinberg, Altabe, & Tantleff-Dunn, 1999), 用以解释媒体影响男性身体意象的作用机制。该模型假设社会文化因素, 即家庭、同伴、媒体是身体意象失调的三个最初影响源; 外貌比较和“瘦理想”或“肌肉理想”内化是社会文化和身体意象失调之间的中介变量。未来研究应关注被试群体的多样化, 将实验室研究和纵向研究相结合, 并考虑其他变量的影响作用, 对三重影响模型进行丰富和拓展, 同时运用脑科学技术探究其神经机制。此外, 还应从干预的角度展开研究。

Abstract:

Recently, body image disturbances are growing prevalent among males, and the mass media has been considered as a significant factor that influence how people feel and think about their bodies. Recent research has demonstrated the negative effects of media on the cognition, feelings (or emotion) and behaviors of males. Based on the sociocultural theory, researchers developed the tripartite influence model to explain the underlying mechanisms of the media influence on males’ body image (Thompson, Heinberg, Altabe, & Tantleff-Dunn, 1999). In this model, three influences (peers, parents, and media) are thought to have a direct effect on body image dissatisfaction as well as indirect effects through two mediational processes: appearance comparison and internalization of ultra-thin and muscular body ideals for women and men, respectively. Future research is needed to assess generalization to diverse samples, combine experimental manipulations with longitudinal study, consider the influence of other variables, enrich and expand the tripartite influence model, and use neuroimaging technology to investigate neural mechanism. In addition, research about prevention and intervention is also needed to reduce the body image disturbance among males.
