Considering the growing body of evidence highlighting high levels of body dissatisfaction among male adolescents and findings that biased body-related attention perpetuates such dissatisfaction, this study aims to address this research gap. Eye movements of German male adolescents (<em>n</em> = 42; age: <em>M</em> = 14.88 years, <em>SD</em> = 1.70) and female adolescents (<em>n</em> = 43; age: <em>M</em> = 15.85, <em>SD</em> = 1.77) were recorded as they viewed images of their own body and a peer’s body. State measures of body dissatisfaction and affect were also collected for each condition. Results showed that boys, compared to girls, spent less time fixating on unattractive areas of their own body. Furthermore, boys allocated equal attention to attractive and unattractive areas of both their own and a peer’s body, while girls exhibited a more deficit-oriented attention pattern. Regarding state measures, boys were less negatively affected by viewing images of bodies than girls. However, both genders reported higher body dissatisfaction after viewing their own body compared to a peer’s body. Overall, these findings provide evidence of gender differences in body-related attention allocation, with boys potentially displaying a more self-serving attention pattern. Nonetheless, the negative impact of viewing one’s own body, as observed in both genders, highlights the importance of addressing body-related concerns in male adolescents, for example, through tailored prevention programs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48312,"journal":{"name":"Body Image","volume":"56 ","pages":"Article 102027"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145864807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No significant changes were observed for BD, negative affect, or anxiety, and no moderating effects emerged for behavioural impulsivity. These findings suggest that the effects of mukbang exposure may vary across specific DE urges and differ by gender, as examined in separate analyses.

We also examined the potential moderating role of ethnic/racial identity. As expected, results differed across body image variables, and cast racial makeup was influential. Viewing casts dominated by Eurocentric appearance norms predicted greater body size concerns; viewing casts featuring more Black women predicted greater body appreciation and less body surveillance. Viewing both types of content was associated with greater self-sexualization. Participants’ ethnic/racial identity did not moderate these relations.

To address this gap, we developed a computational framework comprising body iconography, communication strategies, and audiovisual aesthetics to investigate thinspiration videos on Douyin (Chinese TikTok). Specifically, integrating computer vision, natural language processing, large language models, and audio signal processing, we extracted textual, visual, and auditory features from 757 trending thinspiration videos tagged with #thin and linked these features to nearly three million associated comments to assess large-scale audience responses. Results showed that trending thinspiration videos promoted the thin-ideal, along with the fit-ideal and beauty-ideal, often with gendered portrayals of the human body. Multimodal features such as body size, evaluative rhetoric (thin-praise, fat-stigma), and specific aesthetic patterns were significantly associated with engagement metrics (likes, comments, reshares) or the prevalence of appearance-focused comments. Gender differences were pronounced: female-focused videos featured smaller body sizes, higher beauty scores, and greater objectification, whereas male-focused videos emphasized muscularity and informational framing. This study advances understanding of body image formation in algorithmically mediated environments and offers a scalable methodological framework for multimodal content analysis.

Overall, findings provide preliminary support for both 3-item short forms for brief, group-level use with children aged 10–12, but caution should be applied given the weaker reliability for boys across both short forms.
