Abstract

Selective exposure literature indicates that not all users take away the same messages from their media exposure; it is suggested that viewers are not merely exposed but rather reactive to multiple—and possibly opposing—messages. The current study aims to introduce an active media-processing perspective, focusing specifically on the media-body image association among an early adolescent sample. Results of a three-wave longitudinal survey among 971 early adolescents ( Mage = 11.14; SD = 1.13) show that media-focused peer interactions (W1), but not media exposure (W1), were associated with contradictory perceptions of attractiveness (i.e., perceived benefits and perceived costs for investing in appearance) (W2). Polynomial regression analyses pointed out that the association between these contradictory perceptions (i.e., interaction between benefits and costs; W2) was curvilinearily related to body image investment (W3). The findings emphasize the variable vulnerability of adolescents to the media effect and the importance of acknowledging multi-layered media messages.

青少年的多层次媒体加工：对理想的积极和消极感知与青少年外表焦虑的小组研究

选择性接触文献表明，并非所有用户都从媒体接触中获取相同的信息;有人认为，观众不仅是暴露在信息中，而且是对多重信息(可能是对立的信息)做出反应。本研究旨在引入一个积极的媒体加工视角，特别关注早期青少年样本中媒体-身体形象的关联。971例早期青少年三波纵向调查结果(Mage = 11.14;SD = 1.13)表明，以媒体为中心的同伴互动(W1)，而不是媒体曝光(W1)，与对吸引力的矛盾看法(即，对外表投资的感知收益和感知成本)(W2)有关。多项式回归分析指出了这些矛盾观念之间的联系(即利益与成本之间的相互作用;W2)与身体形象投资呈曲线相关(W3)。研究结果强调了青少年易受媒体影响的脆弱性，以及承认多层次媒体信息的重要性。
