‘Selfie practices’ (e.g., editing, filtering, sharing) have become adolescents’ daily behaviors. The increasing centrality of online visual self-presentation might increase adolescents’ appearance-related concerns, problematic monitoring, and photo manipulation (PM). However, few studies focused on body image control in photos (BICP) and PM, and no studies evaluated the influence of selfie-expectancies on photo-taking and photo-editing. Consequently, two studies were conducted. Study1 psychometrically evaluated the PM scale (N = 1353). Study2 evaluated the mediating role of BICP and the moderating role of gender in the relationship between selfie-expectancies and PM (N = 453). The revised PM scale showed good psychometric properties. BICP mediated the relationship between selfie-expectancies and PM and being male significantly affected the relationship between the variables. Implications for adolescents’ appearance-related issues are discussed.

“自学实践”（例如，编辑，过滤，共享）已成为青少年的日常行为。在线视觉自我呈现的中心性越来越高，这可能会增加青少年与外观相关的问题，有问题的监控和照片处理（PM）。但是，很少有研究关注照片（BICP）和PM中的人体图像控制，也没有研究评估自拍期望对拍照和照片编辑的影响。因此，进行了两项研究。研究1从心理上评估了PM量表（N  = 1353）。研究2评估了BICP的中介作用和性别在自拍照期望与PM（N（N = 453）。修订后的PM量表显示出良好的心理测量特性。BICP介导了自拍期望与PM之间的关系，而男性显着影响变量之间的关系。讨论了对青少年的外观相关问题的影响。
