ABSTRACT We explored the link between adult women’s peer and social networking site (SNS) thinness discrepancies on body satisfaction. We assessed discrepancies between women’s perceived actual thinness and the thinness ideal of close female and male peers, and the female thinness ideal of women and men on social networking sites (SNSs). A total of 253 women (M age = 37; SD = 11.41) completed a cross-sectional survey online. Discrepancies from SNS groups were significantly greater than peer groups. Also, all discrepancies were linked to body dissatisfaction. Finally, the discrepancy with SNS women was the most significant predictor of body dissatisfaction. Our findings also expand the use of self-discrepancy theory by examining SNS-specific discrepancies and do so alongside peer discrepancies to assess their relative effects on body satisfaction.

妇女同伴与社交网站的稀疏差异和身体不满之间的关系

摘要我们探讨了成年女性同龄人与社交网站（SNS）瘦度差异对身体满意度的联系。我们评估了女性在社交网络网站上的实际瘦弱程度与男女近亲理想之间的差异以及女性和男性的瘦弱程度之间的差异。共有253名妇女（M年龄= 37； SD = 11.41）在线完成了横断面调查。SNS组的差异明显大于同龄组。另外，所有差异都与身体不满意有关。最后，与SNS妇女的差异是身体不满的最重要预测因子。我们的发现还通过检查特定于SNS的差异来扩展自差理论的使用，并与同伴差异一起评估其对身体满意度的相对影响。
