“Fitspiration”网站是旨在通过与运动和饮食有关的激励图像和文字激励人们过健康和健康的生活方式的媒体。考虑到类似的互联网内容之间的联系(即,健康生活博客)和有问题的信息,我们假设这些网站上的内容会过分强调外观,并促进有关锻炼和饮食的问题信息。在搜索引擎中输入关键词“fitspb”和“fitspiration”。来自51个独立网站的前10个图像和文本根据各种特征进行了评级。结果表明,在fitspiration网站上发现的大多数信息都集中在外观上。其他共同的主题包括内容促进锻炼的外观动机的原因和内容促进饮食克制。“健身”网站是一个信息来源,强化了对外表的高估,饮食问题和过度锻炼。还需要进一步的研究来检查观看这些内容对参与者心理健康的影响。(C)2016爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
"Fitspiration" websites are media that aim to inspire people to live healthy and fit lifestyles through motivating images and text related to exercise and diet. Given the link between similar Internet content (i.e., healthy living blogs) and problematic messages, we hypothesized that content on these sites would over-emphasize appearance and promote problematic messages regarding exercise and diet. Keywords "fitspb" and "fitspiration" were entered into search engines. The first 10 images and text from 51 individual websites were rated on a variety of characteristics. Results indicated that a majority of messages found-on fitspiration websites focused on appearance. Other common themes included content promoting exercise for appearance-motivated reasons and content promoting dietary restraint. "Fitspiration" websites are a source of messages that reinforce over-valuation of physical appearance, eating concerns, and excessive exercise. Further research is needed to examine the impact viewing such content has on participants' psychological health. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
