Two studies are presented that examine the influence of media messages about cosmetic surgery on youths' interest in altering their own physical appearance. In Study 1, 170 participants (59% female; M age=19.77 years) completed surveys assessing their impression of reality television shows featuring cosmetic surgery, appearance satisfaction, self-esteem, and their interest in cosmetic surgery. Results indicated that participants who reported favorable impressions of reality television shows featuring cosmetic surgery were more likely to indicate interest in pursuing surgery. One hundred and eighty-nine participants (51% female; M age=19.84 years) completed Study 2. Approximately half of the participants were exposed to a television message featuring a surgical make-over; the other half was exposed to a neutral message. Results indicated that participants who watched a television program about cosmetic surgery wanted to alter their own appearance using cosmetic surgery more than did participants who were not exposed to this program.
有两项研究考察了媒体关于整容手术的信息对年轻人改变自身外貌意愿的影响。在研究 1 中，170 名参与者（59%为女性；平均年龄=19.77 岁）完成了评估他们对整容真人秀印象、外貌满意度、自尊感和整容兴趣的调查问卷。结果表明，对整容真人秀印象良好的参与者更有可能表示有兴趣进行整容手术。189 名参与者（51%为女性；平均年龄=19.84 岁）完成了研究 2。大约一半的参与者观看了一个展示整容手术的电视节目；另一半观看了一个中性的节目。结果表明，观看了整容手术电视节目的参与者比未观看该节目的参与者更希望通过整容手术来改变自己的外貌。
