Although body-positive content is associated with increased positive body image, concerns regarding the continued focus on appearance have emerged. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine whether self-compassion text-only content provided benefits beyond traditional photo-based body positivity content. Undergraduates (n = 283; 179 women, 104 men) were randomly assigned to view body positive photos, self-compassion text-only content, or architectural images (control condition). Participants assigned to both experimental conditions demonstrated a significant increase in measures of state body appreciation, state body satisfaction, and state self-compassion, however they did not differ significantly from each other. The self-compassion condition also differed significantly from the control condition. Trait appearance comparisons moderated the relationship between experimental condition and state body appreciation and state body satisfaction, and gender did not affect the relationship between condition and the outcome measures. Results of this study support the inclusion of body-positivity images and self-compassion text-only content in social media interventions for improving body image for men and women.
虽然身体积极内容与增加积极的身体形象有关，但人们对持续关注外表的担忧已经出现。因此，本研究的目的是检验自我同情的纯文本内容是否除了传统的基于照片的身体积极性内容之外还提供了其他益处。本科生（n=283；179 名女性，104 名男性）被随机分配观看身体积极的照片、自我同情的纯文本内容或建筑图像（对照条件）。被分配到两个实验组的参与者在状态身体欣赏、状态身体满意度和状态自我同情方面都显著增加，但彼此之间没有显著差异。自我同情组与对照组也有显著差异。特质外貌比较调节了实验条件与状态身体欣赏和状态身体满意度之间的关系，而性别并没有影响条件与结果测量之间的关系。本研究的结果支持在社交媒体干预中纳入身体积极性图像和自我同情的纯文本内容，以改善男性和女性的身体形象。
