This study addressed profiles of adolescent television use and associations between television viewing profiles and the development of body satisfaction. A sample of 841 adolescent boys and girls, ages 11-17, was recruited for participation in a longitudinal study of adolescent media use. Prior research established eight adolescent television profiles among this sample, reflecting unique patterns of consumption of certain genres, character types, and themes (e.g., romance). This study examined whether an adolescent's television profile predicted Time 2 body satisfaction, after controlling for Time 1 body satisfaction. Among boys, television viewing was unrelated to Time 2 body satisfaction. After controlling for initial body satisfaction, hours spent watching television marginally predicted lower Time 2 body satisfaction among girls. After including television profiles alongside television hours, however, television profile emerged as the stronger predictor. Specifically, a group of girls who watched television frequently and indiscriminately reported the most severe drop in body satisfaction.
这项研究旨在探讨青少年看电视的模式，以及这些模式与身体满意度发展之间的关系。该研究招募了 841 名年龄在 11 到 17 岁的青少年男孩和女孩作为样本，参与一项关于青少年媒体使用的纵向研究。先前的研究在该样本中确定了八种青少年电视模式，反映了对某些类型、角色类型和主题（例如浪漫）的独特消费模式。本研究考察了在控制初始身体满意度的情况下，青少年的电视模式是否可以预测第二次身体满意度。对于男孩来说，看电视与第二次身体满意度无关。在控制初始身体满意度后，女孩看电视的时间略有预测表明，她们的第二次身体满意度会更低。然而，在包括电视节目和电视时间之后，电视模式成为了更有力的预测因素。具体来说，一群频繁且无差别地看电视的女孩报告称，她们的身体满意度下降最为严重。
