“…There are two ways internalisation has been conceptualised in the relationship between media exposure and body dissatisfaction; baseline trait internalisation as a moderator and change in trait internalisation as a mediator [ 5 ]. Recently, considerable research has examined internalisation as a mediator in adults [ 44 , 45 , 46 ] and adolescents [ 47 ] but fewer studies have examined internalisation as a moderator in the context of social media use. In this regard, internalisation (baseline) as a moderator will be the focus of this paper in that higher internalisation is expected to strengthen the negative influence of media imagery on body image and this detrimental effect is expected to diminish with lower internalisation levels [ 48 , 49 ].…”

Internalisation of appearance ideals moderates the relationship between exposure to media images and body dissatisfaction. To date, the role of thin- and muscular-ideal internalisation in the context of social media remains under explored, particularly for boys. As such, we aimed to explore how social media use (Instagram and Snapchat) was related to body dissatisfaction, and whether thin- and muscular-ideal internalisation would moderate this relationship in a sample of 1153 adolescent boys and girls (55.42% males; Mage = 13.71, SD = 1.14). As hypothesised, social media use, and thin- and muscular ideal internalisation were positively correlated with body dissatisfaction in both genders. In moderation analyses, thin-ideal internalisation emerged as the only variable that had a significant effect on body dissatisfaction in both genders. Additionally, the influence of social media use on body dissatisfaction was moderated by muscular-ideal internalisation in boys, whereby for boys with high muscular-ideal internalisation, greater social media use was associated with greater body dissatisfaction. The two-way (muscular x thin-ideal internalisation) and three-way interaction (social media use x thin-ideal internalisation x muscular-ideal internalisation) effects on body dissatisfaction were non-significant. These findings emphasise the importance of considering the sociocultural environment (i.e., new media influences) as frameworks for understanding body dissatisfaction and suggest targeting of internalisation of appearance ideals in body dissatisfaction prevention programs.

“…The researchers found that a larger discrepancy between a woman’s own perceived body size and the perceived body size of her favorite celebrity was linked to disordered eating measures. Second, Lee and Lee (2019) examined perceived sociocultural pressure from celebrities on social media on men’s body image concerns. The researchers found that perceived pressure from celebrities to have a muscular and toned body predicted body dissatisfaction and disordered eating attitudes.…”

Celebrities are well-known individuals who receive extensive public and media attention. There is an increasing body of research on the effect of celebrities on body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. Yet, there has been no synthesis of the research findings. A systematic search for research articles on celebrities and body image or eating disorders resulted in 36 studies meeting inclusion criteria. Overall, the qualitative, correlational, big data, and experimental methodologies used in these studies demonstrated that exposure to celebrity images, appearance comparison, and celebrity worship are associated with maladaptive consequences for individuals’ body image.

“…Previous studies suggested that male body ideals in Asian cultures may not be emphasizing much on high levels of muscle definition (M. Lee & Lee, 2019;Louie, 2002). However, muscle dissatisfaction among young men in Asian societies (e.g., Taiwan, Japan, Korea) has received increasing empirical attention (Chang, 2014;M. Lee & Lee, 2019;Yamamiya et al, 2019).…”

Western studies suggest that perceived pressure from family members, peers, and the media to achieve muscularity ideals are associated with higher muscle dissatisfaction and that such associations are mediated through different psychological processes. However, how such findings apply to young Chinese men has not been explored. Using an online survey, this study examined if perceived pressure from family, peers, and the media to achieve muscularity ideals was associated with muscle dissatisfaction among 319 male college students in Hong Kong and investigated the potential mechanisms explaining such associations (social comparison, uncompassionate self-responding, and body surveillance). Structural equation modeling results indicated that pressure from peers was associated with higher muscle dissatisfaction through increased uncompassionate self-responding (␤ ϭ 0.05, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.01, 0.09]). Pressure from the media was associated with higher muscle dissatisfaction through increased social comparison (␤ ϭ 0.12, 95% CI [0.01, 0.22]) and uncompassionate self-responding (␤ ϭ 0.05, 95% CI [0.01, 0.09]). Contrary to our hypotheses, pressure from family members was not associated with muscle dissatisfaction and the mediating psychological processes. Moreover, the direct effect from perceived peer pressure to muscle dissatisfaction remained significant after considering the mediators (␤ ϭ 0.18, 95% CI [0.02, 0.33]). The mediation models were supported by satisfactory model fit indices. This study revealed that different sources of muscularity-related pressure were associated with Chinese male college students' muscle dissatisfaction through varied psychological processes. Practitioners may consider different intervention strategies to reduce the potential impacts of peer and media pressures on muscle dissatisfaction among young Chinese men. Public Significance StatementThis was one of the first studies examining the associations between pressure from different sources to achieve muscularity ideal (family, peers, and the media) and Chinese male college students' muscle dissatisfaction, plus their potential mediating psychological processes (e.g., social comparison, uncompassionate self-responding, and body surveillance behaviors). Pressure from family members was not associated with muscle dissatisfaction, whereas different mechanisms explained the positive associations between pressure from peers (via uncompassionate self-responding) or the media (via social comparison and uncompassionate self-responding) and muscle dissatisfaction. As different sources of muscularity-achievement pressures may contribute to Chinese young men's muscle dissatisfaction through varied psychological processes, researchers may consider those when designing interventions to alleviate muscle dissatisfaction among those young men.
