BACKGROUND
Appearance motives predict indoor tanning use in adolescents; however, research has primarily focused on females. Salient social factors, such as bullying victimization have yet to be explored in the context of indoor tanning.
PURPOSE
To examine the role of perceived weight and bullying victimization in indoor tanning use among adolescent males.
METHODS
Data on perceived weight, bullying victimization, and frequency of indoor tanning were obtained from the 2009 Youth Risk Behavior Survey—a nationally representative sample of U.S. high school students.
RESULTS
The association of perceived weight status with indoor tanning use significantly varied by bullying victimization, such that perceiving oneself as being very underweight or very overweight was associated with increased indoor tanning, particularly for those males who were victims of bullying.
CONCLUSIONS
Bullying victimization may be a risk factor for indoor tanning use among adolescent males who perceive their weight as extreme.
背景
外表动机可预测青少年使用室内晒黑设备的情况；然而，研究主要集中在女性身上。诸如受欺凌等突出的社会因素在室内晒黑的背景下尚未得到探讨。
目的
研究青少年男性对自身体重的认知以及受欺凌情况在其使用室内晒黑设备方面所起的作用。
方法
关于对自身体重的认知、受欺凌情况以及室内晒黑频率的数据，来自2009年青少年风险行为调查——这是一个具有全国代表性的美国高中生样本。
结果
对自身体重状况的认知与使用室内晒黑设备之间的关联因受欺凌情况而有显著差异，即认为自己体重极轻或极重与室内晒黑增加有关，尤其是对于那些受欺凌的男性。
结论
对于那些认为自己体重处于极端情况的青少年男性而言，受欺凌可能是其使用室内晒黑设备的一个风险因素。
