Previous work has suggested that ethnic minority women have more negative attitudes to cosmetic surgery than British Whites, but reasons for this are not fully understood. To overcome this dearth in the literature, the present study asked 250 British Asian and 250 African Caribbean university students to complete measures of attitudes to cosmetic surgery, cultural mistrust, adherence to traditional cultural values, ethnic identity salience, self-esteem, and demographics. Preliminary analyses showed that there were significant between-group differences only on cultural mistrust and self-esteem, although effect sizes were small (d values = .21-.37). Further analyses showed that more negative attitudes to cosmetic surgery were associated with greater cultural mistrust, stronger adherence to traditional values, and stronger ethnic identity salience, although these relationships were weaker for African Caribbean women than for British Asians. These results are discussed in relation to perceptions of cosmetic surgery among ethnic minority women.
先前的研究表明，少数民族女性对整容手术的态度比英国白人更消极，但人们并不完全理解其原因。为了弥补这一文献空白，本研究要求 250 名英裔亚洲人和 250 名非裔加勒比裔大学生填写整容手术态度、文化不信任、对传统文化价值观的坚持、族裔身份意识、自尊和人口统计数据的量表。初步分析表明，只有在文化不信任和自尊方面存在显著的组间差异，尽管效应量较小（d 值为.21-.37）。进一步的分析表明，对整容手术的负面态度与更高的文化不信任、更强烈的传统价值观坚持以及更强的族裔身份意识有关，尽管这些关系对非裔加勒比裔女性来说比英裔亚洲人要弱。这些结果与少数民族女性对整容手术的看法有关。
