这项研究考察了男性健身房使用者和非锻炼者暴露于肌肉发达的男性理想身体对关注身体的负面情绪的影响。根据假设，媒体曝光的影响取决于男性的锻炼状况。不锻炼的人(n=58)在看到肌肉发达的男性模特的图片后报告的身体关注的负面情绪比在中性图片(没有模特对照)之后更多，而健身者(n=58)在看到模特图片后的身体关注的负面情绪比在对照图片后的更少。此外，健身房使用者增加力量和肌肉的动机程度减缓了这些暴露效应；报告更强的力量和肌肉锻炼动机的男性报告说，在接触到肌肉理想后，自我增强的程度更高。这些发现是根据社会比较动机可能存在的差异来解释的。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This study examines the effects of exposure to the muscular male body ideal on body-focused negative affect among male gym users and non-exercisers. As hypothesized, the impact of media exposure depended on men's exercise status. Non-exercisers (n = 58) reported greater body-focused negative affect after exposure to images of muscular male models than after neutral images (no model controls), whereas gym users (n = 58) showed a tendency for less body-focused negative affect after the model images than after the control images. Furthermore, the extent to which gym users were motivated to increase strength and muscularity moderated these exposure effects; men who reported stronger strength and muscularity exercise motivation reported a greater degree of self-enhancement after exposure to the muscular ideal. The findings are interpreted with respect to likely differences in motives for social comparisons. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
