The present study examined the relationship between posting or viewing fitspiration and clean eating imagery in relation to body image, disordered eating, and compulsive exercise among women. Participants (269 women aged 18-30 years) who posted and/or viewed fitspiration, clean eating or travel imagery on Instagram completed an online cross-sectional questionnaire. Results showed engaging with fitspiration and clean eating material (either posting or viewing) was significantly positively associated with increased levels of compulsive exercise and athletic-ideal internalization. However, only viewing (not posting) fitspiration and clean eating content was significantly related to thin-ideal internalization and disordered eating symptomatology. Athletic-ideal internalization mediated the relationships between posting fitspiration/clean eating and disordered eating symptomatology and compulsive exercise. Both thin-ideal internalization and athletic-ideal internalization mediated the relationship between viewing fitspiration/clean eating material and disordered eating and compulsive exercise. Overall, the findings suggest that viewing fitspiration and clean eating content on Instagram is negatively associated with thin-ideal internalization and disordered eating symptomatology, however the same relationships do not exist for people who frequently post these types of material. The mediational pathways provide a nuanced understanding of how engaging with fitspiration and clean eating material on social media influences female users' body image and health behaviour.
本研究考察了在女性中，发布或查看健身励志和健康饮食图片与身体意象、饮食失调和强迫性锻炼之间的关系。参与者（269 名年龄在 18-30 岁之间的女性）在 Instagram 上发布和/或查看健身励志、健康饮食或旅游图片，完成了一份在线横断面问卷。结果表明，参与健身励志和健康饮食材料（发布或查看）与强迫性锻炼和运动理想内化程度呈显著正相关。然而，只有观看（而不是发布）健身励志和健康饮食内容与瘦理想内化和饮食失调症状显著相关。运动理想内化中介了发布健身励志/健康饮食与饮食失调和强迫性锻炼之间的关系。瘦理想内化和运动理想内化都中介了观看健身励志/健康饮食材料与饮食失调和强迫性锻炼之间的关系。总的来说，这些发现表明，在 Instagram 上观看健身励志和健康饮食内容与瘦理想内化和饮食失调症状呈负相关，但对于经常发布这类材料的人来说，这些关系并不存在。中介途径提供了一个细致入微的理解，即如何参与社交媒体上的健身励志和健康饮食材料会影响女性用户的身体意象和健康行为。
