Dysfunctional appearance beliefs have been identified as important risk factors in the development of body dissatisfaction and disordered eating behaviors among early adolescents. The current two-wave study among 10–14-year-olds (N = 1,597, Mage = 11.25, SD = 1.05) aimed to delineate factors that contribute to the endorsement of such beliefs. Results showed that tweens discussed appearance-related topics with their friends more often when they frequently watched tween television programs (all time 1). Both media exposure and peer conversations (time 1) were related to attributing benefits to attractiveness (time 1), which, in turn, predicted the internalization of appearance ideals (time 1). The internalization of appearance ideals positively predicted the endorsement of dysfunctional appearance beliefs 6 months later.

美丽是好的：外观文化，外观理想的内在化以及补间中功能障碍的外观信念

功能障碍的外表信念已被确定为青少年早期身体不满和饮食行为失调的重要危险因素。当前在10至14岁之间的两波研究（N = 1,597，Mage = 11.25，SD = 1.05）旨在描述有助于认可这种信念的因素。结果表明，当他们经常观看补间电视节目时，补间与他们的朋友更频繁地讨论与外观相关的主题（所有时间均为1）。媒体曝光和同伴交谈（时间1）都与将吸引力归因于吸引力（时间1）有关，而吸引力又反过来预测了外观理想的内在化（时间1）。外观理想的内在化积极预测了6个月后功能障碍的外观信念得到认可。
