The present study investigated psychosocial factors expected to predict an interest in cosmetic surgery. It was hypothesized that body dysmorphic disorder-like symptoms, personality, interpersonal attachment insecurity, low self-esteem, poor body image, dissatisfaction with sexual life, distorted eating behavior, emotional distress, low education, poor relationship with parents and friends, teasing history, social acceptance of cosmetic surgery, and low level of physical activity would relate to an interest in cosmetic surgery.
Questionnaire data were obtained from 1880 participants who responded to a survey distributed to a representative sample of 3500 Norwegian women between 18 and 35 years of age living in the two northernmost counties. Data were analyzed by univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses.
Multiple regression analyses showed that an interest in cosmetic surgery was positively related to body dysmorphic disorder-like symptoms, body image orientation, having children, been teased for appearance, knowing someone who has had cosmetic surgery, and being recommended cosmetic surgery. Agreeability, body image evaluation, education, and quality of relationship with parents were negatively related to an interest in cosmetic surgery.
The study gives new insights into psychosocial factors predicting an interest in cosmetic surgery. In addition to previously known predictors, having been teased for appearance and having children were positive predictors, whereas education and quality of relationship with parents were negative predictors of an interest in cosmetic surgery. The results may contribute to a better understanding of the various factors that may motivate an individual to undergo cosmetic surgery.
本研究旨在探讨预测对整容手术感兴趣的心理社会因素。研究假设，与身体畸形障碍相关的症状、人格、人际关系不安全感、低自尊、不良的身体形象、对性生活不满、饮食行为扭曲、情绪困扰、低教育水平、与父母和朋友关系不佳、被嘲笑的经历、对整容手术的社会认可以及低水平的身体活动与对整容手术的兴趣有关。
问卷数据来自于 1880 名参与者，他们对一项针对居住在挪威最北部两个县的 3500 名 18 至 35 岁女性的代表性样本进行的调查做出了回应。通过单变量和多元逻辑回归分析对数据进行了分析。
多元回归分析显示，对整容手术的兴趣与与身体畸形障碍相关的症状、身体形象取向、有孩子、因外貌被嘲笑、认识做过整容手术的人以及被推荐整容手术呈正相关。宜人性、身体形象评估、教育程度和与父母关系的质量与对整容手术的兴趣呈负相关。
该研究深入了解了预测对整容手术感兴趣的心理社会因素。除了先前已知的预测因素外，因外貌被嘲笑和有孩子是积极的预测因素，而教育程度和与父母关系的质量是对整容手术兴趣的消极预测因素。研究结果可能有助于更好地理解可能促使个体接受整容手术的各种因素。
