The purpose of the current study was to explore among young adults whether celebrity worship predicted the incidence of elective cosmetic surgery within the period of 8 months after controlling for several known predictors of elective cosmetic surgery.
A total of 137 young adults completed questionnaire measures of attitudes toward a celebrity whose body image they admired, previous and vicarious experience of elective cosmetic surgery, attitudes toward cosmetic surgery, and a range of psychological and demographic measures at time 1. Participants were then asked to report whether they had undergone elective cosmetic surgery 8 months later.
After controlling for several known predictors of elective cosmetic surgery, intense-personal celebrity worship of a celebrity whose body shape was admired by the participant predicted the incidence of elective cosmetic surgery within an 8-month period.
The current findings suggest that the type of para-social relationship that young adults form with celebrities, particularly with those whose body shape is admired, may need to be considered by those when speaking to, and educating, young people about their choices around elective cosmetic surgery.
本研究旨在探讨在控制了一些已知的整容手术预测因素后，名人崇拜是否会预测年轻人在 8 个月内进行择期整容手术。
共有 137 名年轻人在第一时间完成了对他们所崇拜的名人的身体形象的态度、以前和间接的择期整容手术经验、对整容手术的态度以及一系列心理和人口统计学措施的问卷调查。然后，参与者被要求报告他们是否在 8 个月后进行了择期整容手术。
在控制了一些已知的整容手术预测因素后，对被参与者所崇拜的身体形象的名人的强烈个人崇拜预测了 8 个月内择期整容手术的发生率。
目前的研究结果表明，年轻人与名人形成的准社会关系类型，特别是与他们所崇拜的身体形象的名人形成的关系，可能需要在与年轻人谈论和教育他们有关择期整容手术的选择时被考虑进去。
