The sociocultural theory of body image disturbance states that Western women experience pressure from sources such as parents, peers, and the media to maintain thinness. Social comparison theory emphasises the role of comparing one's appearance to others. Body image disturbance; awareness and Internalization of sociocultural messages regarding thinness; and sibling social comparisons were examined in 41 closest-in-age sisters through self-report questionnaires. Sisters showed similar levels of body image disturbance and sociocultural awareness and internalization. Sibling comparisons were negative for younger sisters but neutral or positive for older sisters. Sociocultural internalization predicted body dissatisfaction in both sisters, and body size distortion in younger sisters. Negative sibling comparisons during teenage years predicted body size distortion and body dissatisfaction in younger sisters, and preference for thinness in older sisters.
身体意象障碍的社会文化理论指出，西方女性面临来自父母、同龄人及媒体等方面要求保持苗条的压力。社会比较理论强调将自己的外貌与他人进行比较的作用。通过自我报告问卷对41对年龄最相近的姐妹进行了身体意象障碍、对关于苗条的社会文化信息的认知及内化，以及姐妹间社会比较的研究。姐妹们表现出相似程度的身体意象障碍以及社会文化认知和内化。姐妹间比较对妹妹们呈负面，但对姐姐们呈中性或正面。社会文化内化在两姐妹中均预示着身体不满，在妹妹中预示着身体大小歪曲。青少年时期负面的姐妹间比较预示着妹妹们的身体大小歪曲和身体不满，以及姐姐们对苗条的偏好。
