Abstract

Research increasingly explores body positive (BoPo) messaging and diverse model representation in advertising. Fashion and beauty brands are incorporating diverse models in traditional media to address criticisms of promoting narrow appearance ideals, yet their social media communications remain understudied. This content analytical study (n = 460 models, 16 brands) analyzes BoPo messages and diverse model representation in fashion and beauty brands’ Instagram posts. Variations according to the brands’ reputation, posts’ framing, and posts’ popularity were considered. Results showed that although diverse models appeared to be prominently featured in the brands’ Instagram posts (71.50 %; n = 329), the majority of these posts displayed only one aspect of diversity. Racial diversity was the most represented diversity trait (76.29 %, n = 251), while body (32.80 %, n = 151), facial (12.10 %, n = 38), and generational diversity (22.50 %, n = 73) were limited. The sexualization frame (88.70 %, n = 408) prevailed over the empowerment frame (32.40 %, n = 149). Positive changes were noted with the empowerment frame significantly relating to the representation of diverse models. Yet, this study also highlighted that such positive messages still co-occur with negative messages as an empowerment frame co-occurred with a highly prevalent sexualization frame.

多元化模特真的不理想吗?调查 Instagram 上时尚和美容品牌的身体积极性公共信息。
越来越多的研究探讨了广告中的身体正面信息(BoPo)和多元化模特形象。时尚和美容品牌在传统媒体中加入了不同的模特,以回应人们对其宣扬狭隘外貌理想的批评,但他们在社交媒体上的传播仍未得到充分研究。这项内容分析研究(n = 460 名模特,16 个品牌)分析了时尚和美容品牌 Instagram 帖子中的 BoPo 信息和多元化模特形象。研究考虑了品牌声誉、帖子框架和帖子受欢迎程度的不同。结果表明,尽管在品牌的 Instagram 帖子中,多元化模特似乎占据了显著位置(71.50%;n = 329),但这些帖子大多只展示了多元化的一个方面。种族多样性是最具代表性的多样性特征(76.29%,n = 251),而身体多样性(32.80%,n = 151)、面部多样性(12.10%,n = 38)和代际多样性(22.50%,n = 73)则十分有限。性化框架(88.70%,n = 408)优先于赋权框架(32.40%,n = 149)。我们注意到,赋权框架在代表不同模式方面发生了积极变化。然而,本研究也强调,这些积极的信息仍然与消极的信息并存,因为赋权框架与高度流行的性化框架并存。

Body Image is a multi-faceted concept that refers to persons perceptions and attitudes about their own body, particularly but not exclusively its appearance. The journal invites contributions from a broad range of disciplines-psychological science, other social and behavioral sciences, and medical and health sciences. The journal publishes original research articles, brief research reports, theoretical and review papers, and science-based practitioner reports of interest. Dissertation abstracts are also published online, and the journal gives an annual award for the best doctoral dissertation in this field.
