目前的研究探讨了性取向，媒体说服，饮食和身体形象的关注之间的关系78名大学男性（39男同性恋; 39直）。参与者完成了性取向，饮食失调症状，外观相关的焦虑，身体吸引力的重要性，媒体影响力的看法和媒体曝光的措施。男同性恋者在追求苗条、对身体不满意和与身体形象相关的焦虑方面的得分明显高于异性恋者。此外，同性恋者对媒体影响的看法更高，并显着介导性取向和饮食和身体形象的关注之间的关系。性取向也调节了感知媒体影响力和身体吸引力重要性信念之间的关系，因为这种关系对男同性恋者来说很重要，但对异性恋者来说则不然。目前的研究结果表明，男同性恋者对媒体影响的脆弱性增加，部分原因是在这一人群中观察到的相对较高的饮食病理率。(C)2010爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The current study explored the relation between sexual orientation, media persuasion, and eating and body image concerns among 78 college men (39 gay; 39 straight). Participants completed measures of sexual orientation, eating disorder symptoms, appearance-related anxiety, perceived importance of physical attractiveness, perceptions of media influence, and media exposure. Gay men scored significantly higher on drive for thinness, body dissatisfaction, and body image-related anxiety than their straight counterparts. Additionally, perceptions of media influence were higher for gay men, and significantly mediated the relation between sexual orientation and eating and body image concerns. Sexual orientation also moderated the relation between perceived media influence and beliefs regarding the importance of physical attractiveness, as this relation was significant for gay men, but not straight men. The current findings suggest that gay men's increased vulnerability to media influence partially accounts for the relatively high rate of eating pathology observed in this population.
