Injuries or conditions that affect appearance can increase adolescents' risk of psychosocial and interpersonal difficulties and may also impact on romantic relationships - an important aspect of adolescent development. A mixed method online approach explored the romantic experiences of 40 adolescents with a variety of visible differences. Young people identified appearance-related romantic concerns that cause distress, and impede the development and enjoyment of romantic relations. In contrast, some shared positive experiences and evidence of attitudes and behaviours that appear to protect against these concerns. Adolescents requested online peer support specific to their appearance-related needs. These findings can inform intervention development.
影响外貌的伤害或状况会增加青少年遭受心理社会和人际困难的风险，也可能影响他们的恋爱关系——这是青少年发展的一个重要方面。本混合方法在线研究调查了 40 名有各种可见差异的青少年的恋爱经历。年轻人确定了与外貌相关的、导致痛苦的恋爱担忧，并阻碍了恋爱关系的发展和享受。相比之下，一些人则分享了积极的恋爱经历，并表现出一些态度和行为，这些态度和行为似乎可以防止这些担忧。青少年请求提供专门针对他们外貌相关需求的在线同伴支持。这些发现可以为干预措施的发展提供信息。
