The present study examined associations between the Big Five personality domains and measures of men's body image. A total of 509 men from the community in London, UK, completed measures of drive for muscularity, body appreciation, the Big Five domains, and subjective social status, and provided their demographic details. The results of a hierarchical regression showed that, once the effects of participant body mass index (BMI) and subjective social status had been accounted for, men's drive for muscularity was significantly predicted by Neuroticism (β=.29). In addition, taking into account the effects of BMI and subjective social status, men's body appreciation was significantly predicted by Neuroticism (β=-.35) and Extraversion (β=.12). These findings highlight potential avenues for the development of intervention approaches based on the relationship between the Big Five personality traits and body image.
本研究考察了大五人格领域与男性身体意象测量指标之间的关联。来自英国伦敦社区的509名男性完成了肌肉增强驱力、身体欣赏、大五人格领域和主观社会地位的测量,并提供了他们的人口统计学细节。分层回归结果显示,在考虑了参与者体重指数(BMI)和主观社会地位的影响后,神经质(β = 0.29)显著预测了男性的肌肉增强驱力。此外,在考虑BMI和主观社会地位的影响后,神经质(β = -0.35)和外向性(β = 0.12)显著预测了男性的身体欣赏。这些发现突出了基于大五人格特质与身体意象之间的关系开发干预方法的潜在途径。
