Despite the potential of peers to reinforce cultural appearance ideals, little work on peer media co-viewing has focused on body image. This study therefore examined relationships among peer television co-viewing, perceptions of media as important appearance-related information sources, and internalization of media appearance ideals. Adolescents aged 10–14 were included (Study 1: N = 363, M_age (SD) = 12.30 (0.86), 56.5% female; Study 2: N = 959, M_age (SD) = 11.17 (1.11), 48.9% female). Evidence emerged for a positive cross-sectional relationship between peer television co-viewing and media internalization, via media credibility. However, longitudinally, among adolescents reporting frequent media-related peer conversations, peer television co-viewing was negatively associated with media credibility. Peer co-viewing and mediation may be implicated in appearance-related beliefs among adolescents.

尽管同龄人具有加强文化形象理想的潜力，但很少有关于同龄媒体共同观看的工作集中在身体形象上。因此，本研究考察了同侪电视共同观看、媒体作为重要的外表相关信息源的看法以及媒体外表理想的内化之间的关系。包括 10-14 岁的青少年（研究 1：N  = 363，M_年龄（SD）=12.30（0.86），56.5% 女性；研究 2：N  = 959，M_年龄（SD) = 11.17 (1.11), 48.9% 女性)。有证据表明，通过媒体可信度，同行电视共同观看和媒体内部化之间存在积极的横截面关系。然而，纵向来看，在报告频繁与媒体相关的同伴对话的青少年中，同伴电视共同观看与媒体可信度呈负相关。同伴共同观看和调解可能与青少年的外表相关信念有关。
