Drawing on multiple theoretical perspectives (e.g., social comparison theory, reward theory, evolutionary theory), the present research examined the relations of self and friendship network weight status to body satisfaction, self-esteem, and depression. A diverse, population-based sample of adolescents completed measures of well-being and were measured for height and weight. Boys had greater self-esteem if their male friendship networks' weight status mismatched, versus matched, their own weight status ( = .23). Conversely, boys had greater body satisfaction if their female friendship networks' weight status matched, versus mismatched, their own weight status ( = .18). For girls, the relations of male and female friendship networks' weight status with well-being did not vary by one's own weight status. Evolutionary theory appears to best explain the observed patter of results, and clinicians may want to consider friends' weight status when dealing with adolescents' body satisfaction issues.
本研究借鉴了多种理论视角（如社会比较理论、奖励理论、进化理论），考察了自我和友谊网络体重状况与身体满意度、自尊和抑郁之间的关系。一个基于人群的多样化青少年样本完成了幸福感测量，并测量了身高和体重。如果男孩的男性友谊网络体重状况与自己的体重状况不匹配，而非匹配，他们的自尊会更高（ = 0.23）。相反，如果男孩的女性友谊网络体重状况与自己的体重状况匹配，而非不匹配，他们的身体满意度会更高（ = 0.18）。对于女孩来说，男性和女性友谊网络体重状况与幸福感的关系不会因自身体重状况而有所不同。进化理论似乎最能解释观察到的结果模式，临床医生在处理青少年身体满意度问题时可能需要考虑朋友的体重状况。
