An Examination of Factors that Affect Male Body Image in College StudentsVan Meter, Jennifer Elise 01 April 2018 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to determine whether viewing photos of muscular men or viewing photos of toned men produces greater body dissatisfaction scores for male college students. Prior to receiving the intervention, participants completed a pretest measuring their body satisfaction. The intervention was administered in a group setting and took approximately 30 minutes to administer. After receiving the intervention, participants completed the same assessment measures as the pre-test, but in a post-test form. Results indicate that there was a significant difference between pre-test and posttest body satisfaction ratings for men who viewed muscle photos and mend who viewed toned photos. This study contributes to a growing area of body image and Body Dysmorphic Disorder research in men. It also provides evidence for the benefits of addressing body satisfaction during the treatment of Body Dysmorphic Disorder.

The Influence of Peer Relationships on Girls' Body Experiences OvertimeMafrici, Nina 14 December 2009 (has links)
Peer relationships encompass an important developmental context for young girls’ understanding of normative social behavior and appearances. In early adolescence, concern for peer acceptance intensifies, as do the rigid standards peers regulate and command for physical appearance. Pressure to conform to group norms of attractiveness leaves girls vulnerable to reduced self-esteem and body dissatisfaction. Based on the life history narratives of 10 pre- and post-pubertal girls of diverse backgrounds, experiences with peers as they relate to pressures and resistances towards appearance conformity are documented through a prospective design. Results support the presence of two highly integrated domains of the peer environment which promote the pervasiveness of appearance-related pressure and body-consciousness for girls transitioning into adolescence: the evaluative external gaze and concerns for peer acceptance. Protective factors are discussed in the context of girls’ friendships and their ability to distance themselves from peer appearance pressure.

Body image and disordered eating in romantic relationshipsRahbar, Kristen Pauline 15 May 2009 (has links)
Eating, weight, and shape concerns (EWS) are prevalent among college women,
and women with EWS concerns tend to experience difficulties in the domain of
interpersonal functioning. For a young woman, romantic relationships represent one of the
most important aspects of her interpersonal world; thus, an exploration of the romantic
relationships of women with EWS concerns may potentially impact the risk assessment,
prevention, and treatment of these women. This study used a longitudinal design to
examine the relations between EWS concerns and romantic relationships in 88 college
women and their heterosexual partners. Participants completed questionnaires at two time
points spaced approximately two months apart. Results revealed that women’s relationship
outcomes did not predict changes in their EWS concerns over the subsequent two months,
but relationship negative events for men predicted a worsening of women’s EWS concerns.
This finding contradicts the common hypothesis that the influence between women’s EWS
concerns and romantic relationship outcomes is bi-directional. Men’s desired change in
their partners’ bodies predicted women’s EWS concerns cross-sectionally and
longitudinally; however, once controlling for Body Mass Index, most results were no
longer significant. Thus, it seems that a woman’s actual body weight may be driving both
her partner’s satisfaction with her body and her own EWS concerns. Results for analyses determining whether women’s EWS concerns predicted subsequent changes in relationship
outcomes indicated that women’s body image during physical intimacy was the only EWS
variable that significantly or marginally predicted a worsening of all relationship outcomes
for both men and women. This finding provides further support for previous research
suggesting that women’s body image problems may lead to avoidance or uneasiness with
physical intimacy, which in turn may impact relationship functioning. Finally, men’s
desired change in their partner’s bodies predicted only men’s own relationship outcomes
cross-sectionally, and only women’s relationship outcomes longitudinally. Overall, this
study highlights the importance of longitudinal research and of assessing both partners
when exploring the relations between women’s EWS concerns and romantic relationship
outcomes.

Sexual objectification and its consequences on body image and social interactionClarke, Analesa N. 02 June 2009 (has links)
The current study examined the psychological consequences of trait and state self
objectification. This study had three main objectives: to examine the relation between
trait self objectification and various eating pathologies; to examine the degree of state
self objectification (induced by three different conditions) and the impact of condition on
affect and sense of self; and finally, to examine the effect of condition on interactions
with the opposite sex. The pilot study was used to select thin, thin sexually objectifying
and average/plus size non-sexually objectifying images. Using a quasi-experimental
research design with an elaborate cover story, the main study exposed one hundred
seventy women to one of three conditions (thin non sexually objectifying, thin sexually
objectifying or plus size non-sexually objectifying images) and measured negative affect
and body image. Following viewing images, participants interacted with a male
confederate for five minutes and their reported comfort level and flirting with the
confederate were assessed. Results indicated that trait self objectification was associated
with disordered eating symptomatology. However, the manipulation check revealed that
the experimental condition did not produce varying degrees of sexual objectification.
Nonetheless, results indicate an effect of condition on body dissatisfaction, in which individuals who viewed thin images reported more body dissatisfaction than participants
in the above average/plus size group. In regards to the social interaction, individuals in
the non-sexually objectified group reported more flirting than individuals in the sexually
objectified group. Implications for clinical work and future research are discussed.

Psychophysiological Reactivity to Self and Model Images in an Upward Social Comparison ManipulationTamez, Jeannine 2010 December 1900 (has links)
The current study examined affective reactivity to oneself in an upward socialcomparison manipulation using autonomic physiological responses. Study I was conducted to select images of thin and average size models used to elicit a social comparison process for Study II. For Study II, thirty-two female undergraduate students had their startle reflex and skin conductance responses recorded while viewing images of themselves presented adjacent to thin or average size models. Participants also viewed positive, negative, and neutral affect images to test our experimental manipulation of Peter Lang’s startle paradigm. Following the visual presentation, participants used the SAM scale to rate each image along the dimensions of valence, arousal, dominance, body satisfaction, and attractiveness. Analyses revealed that participants reacted to thin and average size models and self with similar levels of body image satisfaction, valence, and arousal, even though thin models were perceived as highly more attractive. Positive affect images were rated higher on valence and arousal among all the picture types. With regards to the psychophysiological data, there were differences in startle reactivity among the three model-to-self comparison images, with images of Thin-to-Self Comparison eliciting more of an inhibited startle response and Thin-to-Average Comparison images eliciting more of a potentiated startle response. In terms of arousal, positive affect images were perceived as more arousing among all the picture types. Contrary to what was expected, there were no significant differences in skin conductance responsiveness between the three model-to self comparison images. The results are discussed from a social-comparison perspective with regard to affective reactivity to body image. Future research directions are proposed.
