The purpose of this study was to examine predictors of male body image dissatisfaction, specifically ethnicity, societal factors and a personality variable. A total of 202 college males (37.3% Asian, 27.7% Caucasian, 14.5% Hispanic, and 13.6% African American) completed measures of perfectionism, internalization of societal messages, and a multidimensional measure of male body attitude. The results indicated that an Asian ethnic identity, socially prescribed perfectionism, and internalizing societal messages were predictors of muscle dissatisfaction. Socially prescribed perfectionism and internalization were the only predictors of low body fat dissatisfaction. Ethnicity, perfectionism and internalization were not predictive of height dissatisfaction. Unique aspects of perfectionism appear to predict specific body image dissatisfaction in men.
本研究的目的是考察男性身体意象不满的预测因素,特别是种族、社会因素和一个人格变量。共有202名大学男性(37.3%为亚洲人,27.7%为白种人,14.5%为西班牙裔,13.6%为非裔美国人)完成了完美主义、社会信息内化以及男性身体态度多维度测量。结果表明,亚洲种族身份、社会规定的完美主义以及社会信息内化是肌肉不满的预测因素。社会规定的完美主义和内化是低体脂不满的唯一预测因素。种族、完美主义和内化并不能预测身高不满。完美主义的独特方面似乎能预测男性特定的身体意象不满。
