Beauty ideals in the Caribbean are shifting with increased exposure to Western and European standards of appearance. Previous research has shown a consistent link between internalization of Western beauty ideals and depressive symptoms and other forms of psychological disturbance among diverse populations including Caribbeans. We examined the association between internalization of Western beauty ideals and depressive symptoms as well as the potential mediating role of self-esteem on this relation in N = 222 students (155 females, 79 males) attending a tertiary institution in Kingston, Jamaica. Internalization of Western ideals was inversely associated with self-esteem (r =- .35, p < .01) and positively associated with depressive symptoms (r =.13, p < .05). In a model adjusted for age and sex, results revealed a significant indirect effect of internalization of Western ideals of appearance on depressive symptoms via self-esteem (estimate= .21, SE = .05, 95% confidence interval [.13, .32]). The potent effects of culture must be better understood as intercontinental travel becomes less important as a mechanism for cultural exposure and exchange, and there is a significant increase of digital and internet access in the Caribbean. The current study suggest that Caribbeans are at significant risk for internalizing Western ideals of beauty, subsequently diminishing their self-esteem, and ultimately increasing depression symptomatology. The benefits and consequences of cultural exchange should continue to be a topic for research studies.

牙买加大学生在外表和自尊心方面的西方理想的内在化。

随着越来越多的西方和欧洲外观标准的出现,加勒比海地区的美容理念正在发生转变。先前的研究表明,在包括加勒比海在内的不同人群中,西方美容理想的内在化与抑郁症状和其他形式的心理障碍之间存在着持续的联系。我们在参加牙买加金斯敦大专院校的N = 222名学生(155名女性,79名男性)中研究了西方美容理想的内在化与抑郁症状之间的联系以及自尊对这种关系的潜在中介作用。西方理想的内在化与自尊成反比(r =-.35,p <.01),与抑郁症状成正比(r = .13,p <.05)。在针对年龄和性别进行调整的模型中,结果显示,通过自尊心,西方理想化内在化对抑郁症状的间接影响显着(估计值= .21,SE = .05,95%置信区间[.13,.32])。由于洲际旅行作为一种文化接触和交流的机制变得不那么重要,因此必须更好地理解文化的强大影响,并且加勒比海地区的数字和互联网访问量已大大增加。当前的研究表明,加勒比海地区有可能将西方的美感内在化,从而降低其自尊心,并最终增加抑郁症的症状。文化交流的好处和后果应继续成为研究的主题。SE = .05,95%置信区间[.13,.32])。由于洲际旅行作为一种文化接触和交流的机制变得不那么重要,因此必须更好地理解文化的强大影响,并且加勒比海地区的数字和互联网访问量已大大增加。当前的研究表明,加勒比海地区有可能将西方的美感内在化,从而降低其自尊心,并最终增加抑郁症的症状。文化交流的好处和后果应继续成为研究的主题。SE = .05,95%置信区间[.13,.32])。由于洲际旅行作为一种文化接触和交流的机制变得不那么重要,因此必须更好地理解文化的强大影响,并且加勒比海地区的数字和互联网访问量已大大增加。当前的研究表明,加勒比海地区有可能将西方的美感内在化,从而降低其自尊心,并最终增加抑郁症的症状。文化交流的好处和后果应继续成为研究的主题。加勒比海地区的数字和互联网访问也大大增加。当前的研究表明,加勒比海地区有可能将西方的美感内在化,从而降低其自尊心,并最终增加抑郁症的症状。文化交流的好处和后果应继续成为研究的主题。加勒比海地区的数字和互联网访问也大大增加。当前的研究表明,加勒比海地区有可能将西方的美感内在化,从而降低其自尊心,并最终增加抑郁症的症状。文化交流的好处和后果应继续成为研究的主题。
