In the current study, we examined correlates of tanning behaviors and attitudes. Undergraduates (N = 277; 53% female; average age = 19.27 years) completed measures of appearance orientation and appearance evaluation from the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire, the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and questions addressing tanning behaviors and attitudes. Women were more likely to engage in indoor tanning and perceived greater susceptibility to photoaging than men. Body image and depression were associated with tanning behaviors and attitudes. Results suggest that psychological factors are important motivators of both indoor and outdoor tanning, although each has unique correlates. Implications for reducing risky tanning behaviors are discussed.
在当前的研究中，我们研究了晒黑行为和态度的相关因素。大学生（N=277；53%为女性；平均年龄=19.27 岁）完成了多维身体自我关系问卷、流行病学研究抑郁量表中的外貌取向和外貌评价的测量，以及关于晒黑行为和态度的问题。女性比男性更倾向于进行室内晒黑，并且认为自己更容易受到光老化的影响。身体形象和抑郁与晒黑行为和态度有关。结果表明，心理因素是室内和室外晒黑的重要动机，尽管它们各自有独特的相关因素。讨论了减少危险晒黑行为的意义。
