虽然身体形象的关注受到文化和种族因素的影响，但大多数关于媒体和身体形象的研究都集中在高加索人身上。本研究的目的是探讨是否种族温和的身体不满和情绪的妇女暴露在媒体形象描绘的理想体质。两个种族的妇女（高加索人和非洲裔美国人）观看了两组幻灯片（大众媒体的理想和控制），并完成了测试前和测试后的情绪状态的焦虑，抑郁，愤怒和身体不满的措施。研究结果显示，尽管非裔美国女性在观看任一载玻片条件后报告的测试前至测试后身体不满意度没有变化，但高加索女性在观看模型载玻片后报告的身体不满意度较高，在观看对照载玻片后报告的身体不满意度评分较低。其他结果均不显著。最后对研究结果和未来的研究方向进行了讨论。
Although body image concerns are influenced by cultural and ethnic factors, most research on the media and body image has focused exclusively on Caucasians. The goal of this study was to examine whether ethnicity moderates the body dissatisfaction and mood of women exposed to media images portraying the ideal physique. Two ethnic groups of women (Caucasians and African Americans) viewed two sets of slides (mass media ideals and controls) and completed pre- and posttest mood state measures of anxiety, depression, anger, and body dissatisfaction. Findings reveal that although the African American women reported no changes from pre- to posttest body dissatisfaction after viewing either slide condition, the Caucasian women reported higher body dissatisfaction after viewing the model slides and lower body dissatisfaction scores after viewing the control slides. No other results were significant. Study results and future research directions are discussed.
