Exposure to cultural bodily ideals featuring thinness and muscularity can have deleterious effects on body satisfaction. The current study explores the effect of exposure to such imagery on body dissatisfaction and the influence of internalisation of cultural and athletic ideals. 188 (97 male) adults (18-25yrs; M = 20.97) were grouped according to a 2 × 2 × 2 mixed between-within subjects design (male/female; high/low physical activity; intervention/control). Participants were exposed to images of idealised physiques or neutral images. Internalisation-general, sex, physical activity levels, and Body Mass Index were associated with baseline levels of body dissatisfaction. Internalisation of cultural ideals appears to be an important factor for the prediction of body dissatisfaction. Exposure to idealised images resulted in increases in body dissatisfaction across all groups compared to controls. Neither sex nor physical activity levels buffer young adults from the negative effects of viewing images featuring idealised bodies.
暴露于强调消瘦和肌肉发达的文化体型理想标准可能对身体满意度产生有害影响。本研究探讨了接触此类图像对身体不满的影响，以及文化和运动理想内化的影响。188 名（97 名男性）成年人（18-25 岁；M=20.97）根据 2×2×2 混合被试间-被试内设计（男性/女性；高/低身体活动；干预/对照）分组。参与者接触理想化的体型图像或中性图像。文化理想的内化-一般、性别、身体活动水平和身体质量指数与身体不满的基线水平相关。文化理想的内化似乎是预测身体不满的一个重要因素。与对照组相比，暴露于理想化图像会导致所有组的身体不满增加。性别和身体活动水平都不能缓冲年轻人免受观看理想化身体图像的负面影响。
