Abstract:

The aim of the current study is to evaluate different sources of body comparison (e.g., same-sex peers, models, young adult celebrities, middle-aged celebrities, older celebrities, and self-oriented body comparison to one's younger self) and their relation to body image concerns among middle-aged women. Participants were 347 middle-aged women, ages 40–63, who completed questionnaires. After controlling for multiple comparisons, results indicated that participants engaged in body comparison to same-sex peers most frequently, followed by self-oriented body comparison, compared to other sources, and in body comparison to young adult celebrities significantly less frequently than any other source. Additionally, same-sex peers body comparisons and self-oriented body comparisons were significantly associated with body image concerns above and beyond all other sources of comparison. Results highlight limitations of past research into social comparison due to the lack of consideration of the novel construct of self-oriented body comparison, which demonstrates unique linkages to body image concerns above and beyond previously established external sources.

中年妇女身体比较的来源及其与身体形象关注的关系

摘要:

当前研究的目的是评估身体比较的不同来源(例如,同性同龄人,模特,年轻的成年名人,中年名人,年长的名人以及与年轻人的自我定位的身体比较)及其关系对中年女性身体形象的关注。参加调查的是347位年龄在40-63岁之间的中年妇女。在控制了多次比较后,结果表明,与其他来源相比,参与者最经常与同性同龄人进行身体比较,其次是自我导向的身体比较,而与其他成年名人进行身体比较的频率则要低得多。 。另外,同性同龄人的身体比较和自我导向的身体比较与身体形象方面的关注密切相关,超越了所有其他比较来源。由于缺乏对自我导向的身体比较的新颖结构的考虑,结果突出了过去对社会比较的研究的局限性,这证明了与身体形象关注的独特联系超出了先前建立的外部来源。
