Research reveals significant positive associations between materialism and cosmetic surgery consideration, yet little is known about why this relationship exists. To address this question, the present study examined potential mediators of the links between materialism and cosmetic surgery consideration. A sample of 336 Chinese undergraduate women completed measures of materialism, self-objectification, capitalization of sexual attractiveness, and cosmetic surgery consideration. Correlational analysis showed that materialism, self-objectification, and capitalization of sexual attractiveness were significantly positively correlated with cosmetic surgery consideration. The results of path analyses revealed that higher materialism predicted more willingness to consider cosmetic surgery, both directly and indirectly via higher self-objectification and capitalization of sexual attractiveness.
研究表明，物质主义与考虑接受整容手术之间存在显著的正相关关系，但对于这种关系存在的原因却知之甚少。为了解决这个问题，本研究考察了物质主义与考虑接受整容手术之间联系的潜在中介因素。336名中国本科女生参与了此次研究，她们完成了关于物质主义、自我物化、对性吸引力的重视以及对整容手术的考虑等方面的测量。相关分析表明，物质主义、自我物化以及对性吸引力的重视与考虑接受整容手术之间存在显著的正相关。路径分析结果显示，较高的物质主义直接以及通过更高程度的自我物化和对性吸引力的重视间接预测了更愿意考虑接受整容手术。
