两项针对青春期男孩和女孩的研究考察了身体形象满意度与同性同龄人或媒体模特的社会比较之间的关系。在第一项研究中，九年级和十年级的学生描述了他们对同性和异性青少年吸引力的看法。这些吸引力属性随后被用于研究 2，其中 7 年级和 10 年级的男孩和女孩报告了与模特/名人和同性同龄人的社会比较。还评估了身体不满意程度。结果证实，同性同龄人和模特/名人都是身体属性社会比较的目标，但个人和社会属性的比较更有可能针对同性同龄人。对于男孩和女孩来说，与同龄人和模特目标的体重比较是身体不满意的主要相关因素。此外，女生的体型比较和男生认可的面部比较也与身体不满意有关。社会比较中的性别差异表明，女孩报告了更多跨目标和属性的社会比较。结果根据社会比较和同伴背景对青春期身体形象的作用进行了讨论。
Relations among body image satisfaction and social comparisons to either same-sex peers or media models were examined in 2 studies of adolescent boys and girls. In the first study, 9th and 10th graders described their conceptions of attractiveness for same- and opposite-sex adolescents. These attractiveness attributes were then used in Study 2 in which 7th- and 10th-grade boys and girls reported on social comparisons to models/celebrities and same-sex peers. Body dissatisfaction was also assessed. The results confirmed that both same-sex peers and models/celebrities were the targets of social comparisons for physical attributes, but comparisons on personal and social attributes were more likely directed toward same-sex peers. For boys and girls, weight comparisons to both peer and model targets were primary correlates of body, dissatisfaction. In addition, shape comparisons reported by the girls and facial comparisons endorsed by the boys also related to body dissatisfaction. Gender differences in social comparison indicated that girls reported more social comparisons across targets and attributes. Results are discussed in terms of the role of social comparison and peer context for body image during adolescence.
