The current experiment investigated the impact of attaching self-disclaimer captions (i.e., captions about whether photos had been edited) to thin-ideal Instagram photos on young women's body image and mood. Participants were 311 undergraduate students aged 18-25 years. Participants were randomly assigned to view images of a thin woman on Instagram with no captions, or with a generic, specific, or warning self-disclaimer caption, and completed pre and post measures of body image and mood and a questionnaire about their own photo-editing practices. Across all conditions, exposure to the images resulted in decreased body satisfaction, likelihood to compare one's body to another's, happiness, confidence, and anxiety. There was no significant effect of disclaimer type on body image or mood, and therefore no type of self-disclaimer had an ameliorating effect. However, specific disclaimers were superior to the other disclaimers at reducing likelihood to compare one's body to another's, for women high on photo manipulation. Future research should be conducted in adolescent girls and men.
当前的实验研究了在理想化身材的 Instagram 照片上附加自 disclaimer 标题（即关于照片是否经过编辑的标题）对年轻女性的身体形象和情绪的影响。参与者为 311 名年龄在 18 至 25 岁的本科生。参与者被随机分配观看带有无标题、通用标题、具体标题或警告 disclaimer 标题的瘦女人的 Instagram 图片，并在观看前后完成身体形象和情绪的测量以及关于他们自己的照片编辑实践的问卷。在所有条件下，观看这些图片都会导致身体满意度降低、与他人比较身体的可能性增加、幸福感、信心和焦虑感增加。disclaimer 类型对身体形象或情绪没有显著影响，因此没有一种 disclaimer 有改善效果。然而，对于高度关注照片编辑的女性来说，具体 disclaimer 比其他 disclaimer 更能降低与他人比较身体的可能性。未来的研究应该在青少年女孩和男性中进行。
