之前的相关研究表明，更频繁地使用社交网站的青春期女孩对自己的身体更不满意。然而，我们对这种关系的因果关系的方向，这种关系背后的机制，以及这种关系是否也同样发生在男孩身上，知之甚少。目前对604名荷兰青少年(11-18岁；50.7%为女性；97.7%为荷兰土著)进行的两波小组研究(18个月的时间滞后)旨在填补这些知识空白。结构方程模型显示，社交网站的使用预测了身体不满的增加，并通过接收与同伴外表相关的反馈的形式增加了对身体形象的同伴影响。与同伴外表相关的反馈不能预测身体不满意，因此不能在社交网站使用对身体不满意的影响中起中介作用。性别并没有缓和这一发现。因此，社交网站可能会对青春期男孩和女孩的身体形象产生不利影响。
Previous correlational research indicates that adolescent girls who use social network sites more frequently are more dissatisfied with their bodies. However, we know little about the causal direction of this relationship, the mechanisms underlying this relationship, and whether this relationship also occurs among boys to the same extent. The present two-wave panel study (18 month time lag) among 604 Dutch adolescents (aged 11–18; 50.7 % female; 97.7 % native Dutch) aimed to fill these gaps in knowledge. Structural equation modeling showed that social network site use predicted increased body dissatisfaction and increased peer influence on body image in the form of receiving peer appearance-related feedback. Peer appearance-related feedback did not predict body dissatisfaction and thus did not mediate the effect of social network site use on body dissatisfaction. Gender did not moderate the findings. Hence, social network sites can play an adverse role in the body image of both adolescent boys and girls.
