The psychosocial effects of circumcision status on the adolescent male are unclear. This study explored methods for assessing attitudes toward circumcision of early adolescents and differences in satisfaction between circumcised and uncircumcised males that would warrant further investigation. Seventy-three boys, aged 11 through 14 years completed the Petersen Body Image Scale and a questionnaire concerning their own circumcision status, satisfaction with that status, and perceptions about the status of other family members and peers. To assess knowledge, subjects identified diagrams depicting differing circumcision states during a personal interview. Physical examination confirmed reported circumcision status. Of the study group, 19% (n = 14) were uncircumcised. Use of visual aids to report circumcision status was more accurate (92%) than self-report (68%). Circumcised boys scored higher on satisfaction items than did uncircumcised boys, (t(15.65) = -3.96, p less than 0.001). No differences in general body image were found between groups. Further research that examines psychosocial outcomes of circumcision status is necessary.
包皮环切术状况对青少年男性的心理社会影响尚不清楚。本研究探索了评估青少年早期对包皮环切术态度的方法，以及包皮环切和未包皮环切男性在满意度上的差异，这些差异值得进一步研究。73名年龄在11至14岁的男孩完成了彼得森身体意象量表以及一份关于他们自己的包皮环切术状况、对该状况的满意度，以及对其他家庭成员和同伴状况看法的问卷。为评估知识，受试者在个人访谈中识别描绘不同包皮环切状态的图表。体格检查证实了报告的包皮环切术状况。在研究组中，19%（n = 14）未行包皮环切术。使用视觉辅助工具报告包皮环切术状况比自我报告更准确（92%对68%）。包皮环切男孩在满意度项目上的得分高于未包皮环切男孩，（t(15.65) = -3.96，p小于0.001）。两组之间在总体身体意象方面未发现差异。有必要对包皮环切术状况的心理社会结果进行进一步研究。
