Studies of the Tripartite Influence Model conducted with female samples suggest that thinness-oriented pressures, internalization, and appearance comparisons may be risk factors for disordered eating. However, limited work has investigated this model among men utilizing measures specifically designed to assess both muscularity- and thinness-oriented processes, which characterize male body image concerns. To address this gap, the current study examined the Tripartite Influence Model of disordered eating among men using a battery of such measures. A convenience sample of 265 male undergraduates completed validated, self-report measures of disordered eating, muscularity- and thinness-oriented appearance pressures, internalization, and appearance comparisons. Path analyses supported a slightly modified version of the Tripartite Influence Model, indicating direct and indirect paths from sociocultural pressures to disordered eating via internalization and appearance comparisons. These results provide support for a version of the Tripartite Influence Model among men. Specifically, muscularity- and thinness-oriented pressures appear to be related to disordered eating among college men via indirect pathways involving thin internalization, muscular internalization, and appearance comparisons. Future work is needed, however, to examine whether the model would generalize to muscularity-oriented disordered eating.

对女性样本进行的三方影响模型研究表明，以瘦弱为导向的压力、内化和外观比较可能是饮食失调的危险因素。然而，有限的工作在男性中研究了这种模型，这些模型利用专门设计的措施来评估以肌肉和瘦身为导向的过程，这些过程是男性身体形象问题的特征。为了解决这一差距，目前的研究使用一系列此类措施检查了男性饮食失调的三方影响模型。265 名男大学生的便利样本完成了对饮食失调、肌肉和瘦弱导向的外观压力、内化和外观比较的经过验证的自我报告测量。路径分析支持略微修改的三方影响模型版本，通过内化和外观比较表明从社会文化压力到饮食失调的直接和间接途径。这些结果为男性三方影响模型的一个版本提供了支持。具体而言，肌肉和瘦身导向的压力似乎与大学生男性的饮食失调有关，这些间接途径包括瘦内化、肌肉内化和外观比较。然而，未来的工作需要检查该模型是否可以推广到以肌肉发达为导向的饮食失调。肌肉和瘦身导向的压力似乎与大学生男性的饮食失调有关，这些间接途径包括瘦内化、肌肉内化和外观比较。然而，未来的工作需要检查该模型是否可以推广到以肌肉发达为导向的饮食失调。肌肉和瘦身导向的压力似乎与大学生男性的饮食失调有关，这些间接途径包括瘦内化、肌肉内化和外观比较。然而，未来的工作需要检查该模型是否可以推广到以肌肉发达为导向的饮食失调。
