In recent years, websites that stress the message of thinness as the ideal and only choice have surfaced on the internet. The possibility that pro-anorexia websites may reinforce restrictive eating and exercise behaviors is an area of concern. In addition, friends may be influencing one another to view these websites, further contributing to drive for thinness in women and drive for muscularity in men. Three hundred male and female undergraduate psychology students responded to questionnaires assessing: internalization of pro-anorexia website content, internalization of general media content, influence of friends to view pro-anorexia websites, peer influence, drive for muscularity, and drive for thinness. Results showed internalization of pro-anorexia website content was positively correlated with drive for thinness in women, and negatively correlated with drive for muscularity in men. Internalization of pro-anorexia website content was found to be related to both drive for thinness in women and drive for muscularity in men.
近年来，强调以瘦为美且为唯一选择的网站在互联网上涌现。厌食症网站可能会强化限制饮食和锻炼行为，这是一个令人关注的问题。此外，朋友们可能会相互影响去浏览这些网站，这进一步助长了女性的瘦身欲望和男性的肌肉发达欲望。300 名男女心理学本科生对评估以下内容的问卷做出了回应：厌食症网站内容的内化、一般媒体内容的内化、朋友浏览厌食症网站的影响、同伴影响、对肌肉发达的渴望和对瘦身的渴望。结果表明，厌食症网站内容的内化与女性的瘦身欲望呈正相关，与男性的肌肉发达欲望呈负相关。厌食症网站内容的内化与女性的瘦身欲望和男性的肌肉发达欲望都有关系。
