“…Research with US college students indicates that beliefs about one's ability to change appearance and the increasing popularity of cosmetic surgery in the mass media and entertainment industries collectively contribute to cosmetic surgery interest (Mazzeo et al 2007;Sarwer et al 2005;Sperry et al 2008; for reviews, see Sarwer et al 2004;Sarwer, et al 2009). Particular personality traits have also been identified as relevant to the consideration of cosmetic surgery in a Malaysian sample (Swami et al 2009).…”

The Tripartite Influence Model of Body Image was adapted to examine the role of body satisfaction, perceived pressure to have cosmetic surgery, and internalization of societal appearance ideals in understanding cosmetic surgery attitudes. Participants were 2,048 men (N=445) and women (N=1,603) American college students from Florida who completed a range of measures that assessed levels of body satisfaction, perceived appearance pressures, internalization of appearance standards, and cosmetic surgery attitudes. A structural equation model was used to test hypothesized relations independently for men and women. Results indicated a moderate-good fit to the data, with both internalization and body satisfaction mediating the effect of perceived pressures on cosmetic surgery attitudes. Invariance testing revealed significant differences in pathway estimates between samples of men and women. The findings offer further support for the Tripartite Influence Model of Body Image and indicate potential factors that may influence cosmetic surgery attitudes.

“…Future studies will need to employ longitudinal designs to investigate if the PAPS also predicts changes PHYSICAL APPEARANCE PERFECTIONISM SCALE 30 in people's behavior and mental health over time. Moreover, future studies need to investigate if the PAPS is sensitive to detect changes in physical appearance perfectionism following experimental manipulations of the importance of people's physical appearance or exposure to media such as reality TV cosmetic surgery programs that have been shown to influence people's body image (Mazzeo, Trace, Mitchell, & Walker Gow, 2007).…”

“…Some investigators have examined the issue of reality television viewing and appearance concerns. In one study, researchers found that watching cosmetic surgery programs increased disordered eating attitudes in women with pre-existing thin-ideal internalization but not other women (Mazzeo et al, 2007). In another study an author considered the impact of cosmetic surgery focused reality programming and found that such shows had little impact on body image but did promote positive beliefs about the benefits of cosmetic surgery (Nabi, 2009).…”
