In this study we examined the influence of normative body ideals in the form of perceived peer preferences on personal body ideals and body dissatisfaction Participants (N=146 female college students) were exposed to the purported preferences of peers representing either relatively thin or heavy body ideals. Along with the normative body ideal manipulation, the gender of the purported peers was manipulated. Participants then selected their ideal for their own body and body dissatisfaction was measured. Women selected a thinner personal body ideal in the thin norm condition than in the heavy norm condition. This effect was seen irrespective of the gender of the purported peers. Body dissatisfaction was not influenced by the manipulation. The malleability of body image and the influence of social factors on ideal body size are discussed.
在本研究中，我们考察了以感知到的同伴偏好形式存在的规范性身体理想对个人身体理想和身体不满的影响。参与者（N = 146名女大学生）接触到代表相对瘦或胖身体理想的同伴的所谓偏好。除了规范性身体理想的操纵外，还操纵了所谓同伴的性别。然后参与者选择自己身体的理想状态，并测量身体不满程度。在瘦标准条件下，女性选择的个人身体理想比在胖标准条件下更瘦。无论所谓同伴的性别如何，都能看到这种效果。身体不满不受该操纵的影响。本文讨论了身体形象的可塑性以及社会因素对理想身体尺寸的影响。
