目前的研究考察了人际对基于外表的拒绝的关注程度，或基于外表的拒绝敏感性（appearance - rs），作为过度关注身体形象风险的一个指标。在之前研究的基础上，我们调查了106名英国大学生的外貌- rs与身体畸形障碍（BDD）症状和整容态度之间的关系。与预测一致，在控制了其他已知的预测变量后，Appearance-RS唯一地预测了更大程度的BDD症状。此外，正如预期的那样，Appearance-RS独特地预测了个人和社会原因对整容手术的接受程度，以及未来对整容手术的更多考虑。这些发现强调了在过度关注身体形象的调查中，根据个人的外表来评估个人对他人拒绝的敏感性的重要性。2009爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The present research examined the extent to which interpersonal concerns about rejection based on appearance, or Appearance-based Rejection Sensitivity (Appearance-RS), serves as an indicator of risk for excessive body image concerns. Extending previous research, we examined the association between Appearance-RS and symptoms of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and cosmetic surgery attitudes among 106 British university students. Consistent with predictions, Appearance-RS uniquely predicted greater degree of BDD symptoms after controlling for other known predictor variables. Also, as expected, Appearance-RS uniquely predicted acceptance of cosmetic surgery for both intrapersonal and social reasons and greater consideration of having cosmetic surgery in the future. These findings highlight the importance of assessing individuals' sensitivity to rejection from others based on their physical appearance in investigations of excessive body image concerns.
