Research suggests that greater levels of body appreciation and body satisfaction may protect women from negative outcomes when viewing media images of the thin-ideal. In this study, we compared the effectiveness of body appreciation and body satisfaction in ameliorating negative effects from viewing images of the traditional thin-ideal and the newer functional-ideal (i.e., models presented in active stances with a focus on the function of their body). A sample of 122 women (M = 24.43 years) from a regional university and the general community was recruited to complete an online study. Participants were randomly allocated to view images of models presented in either an active or posed stance, or images of scenery. Participants completed pre- and post-test measures of appearance and functionality satisfaction, as well as trait measures of body appreciation and satisfaction. Results showed that women had poorer outcomes after viewing the active but not the posed or scenery images. Neither body appreciation nor body satisfaction moderated effects. Active, functional images may be particularly insidious and further research is needed to identify effective protective strategies.
研究表明，当女性观看瘦理想体型的媒体图像时，更高水平的身体欣赏和身体满意度可能会保护她们免受负面结果的影响。在这项研究中，我们比较了身体欣赏和身体满意度在改善观看传统瘦理想体型和更新的功能理想体型（即模特以积极的姿势展示，重点是身体的功能）图像的负面影响方面的效果。一项来自地区大学和普通社区的 122 名女性（M = 24.43 岁）的样本被招募来完成一项在线研究。参与者被随机分配观看以积极或摆姿势展示的模特图像，或风景图像。参与者完成了外观和功能满意度的前后测度量，以及身体欣赏和满意度的特质度量。结果表明，女性在观看积极的图像后表现出较差的结果，但观看摆姿势或风景的图像后则没有这种结果。身体欣赏和身体满意度都没有调节作用。积极的、功能性的图像可能特别阴险，需要进一步研究以确定有效的保护策略。
