Little is known about the body image of non-White men living in Western countries, even though it has been suggested that they may be more at risk of body image concerns, especially if they internalize Western ideals. This study focused on identifying the main body image and appearance themes among 15 men of Chinese ancestry in Australia using semi-structured interviews and grounded theory. Moderate muscularity was the preferred ideal and height dissatisfaction was shown to be the primary concern. The majority was not invested in achieving muscularity and had a "holistic" approach to their body image that included concerns about hairstyling and clothing. In addition, the men were influenced by both Asian and Western ideals, and this included comparison targets with both Asian and Western men. Further studies are needed to assess the extent of men's body image and appearance concerns, and the role played by Asian and Western influences.
关于生活在西方国家的非白种男性的身体意象,人们知之甚少,尽管有人认为他们可能更容易受到身体意象问题的困扰,尤其是如果他们内化了西方的理想观念。本研究使用半结构化访谈和扎根理论,重点关注澳大利亚 15 名华裔男性的主要身体意象和外貌主题。适度的肌肉发达被认为是理想的,身高不满是主要关注的问题。大多数人对获得肌肉发达并不感兴趣,他们对自己的身体形象采取“整体”的方法,包括对发型和服装的关注。此外,这些男性受到亚洲和西方理想观念的影响,这包括将自己与亚洲和西方男性进行比较。需要进一步的研究来评估男性对身体形象和外貌的关注程度,以及亚洲和西方影响所扮演的角色。
