摘要

鼓励欣赏身体功能的写作任务可以改善女性的身体形象,并可缓冲理想化媒体曝光的负面影响。然而,还没有研究探讨过这些任务是否可以作为理想化接触后的一种应对策略。为此,从澳大利亚一所大学和普通社区招募的年轻成年女性(N = 217,Mage = 21.63)在接触理想化媒体后完成了一项写作任务,并在基线、接触后和任务后测量了身体形象状态。女性被随机分配到三项写作任务中的一项,并被要求欣赏自己身体的功能性、专注于之前观看的图片(反刍)或描述一条常走的路线(分散注意力)。结果表明,在欣赏身体功能和分散注意力两种情况下,女性的写作能力都得到了提高。只有身体鉴赏能力在功能性条件下得到了独特的改善。功能性任务被认为更有帮助,但也更具挑战性。这些发现为基于功能的写作任务对改善女性身体形象的作用提供了更多证据。与分散注意力一样,当身体形象受到困扰时,写作任务也能带来立竿见影的效果,而未来的研究则应探讨写作任务在推动人们以更持久、更深入的方式长期关注自己身体方面的作用。

A comparison of functionality, rumination, and distraction tasks on women’s state body image and mood after idealised media exposure

Writing tasks that encourage an appreciation of body functionality can improve women’s body image and may buffer against negative effects of idealised media exposure. However, no research has examined whether these tasks can serve as a coping strategy after idealised exposure. To this end, young adult women (N = 217, Mage = 21.63) recruited from an Australian university and general community completed a writing task after idealised media exposure, with state body image measures taken at baseline, post-exposure, and post-task. Women were randomly allocated to one of three writing tasks and asked to appreciate their body functionality, to focus on the previously viewed images (rumination), or to describe a frequently travelled route (distraction). Improvements on outcome measures were equally found across both the functionality and distraction condition. Only body appreciation uniquely improved in the functionality condition. The functionality task was rated more helpful but also more challenging. These findings add to the evidence base regarding the usefulness of functionality-based writing tasks for improving women’s body image. They can offer immediate benefits when experiencing body image distress, as can distraction, and future research should explore their utility in driving more sustained and deeper ways of engaging with one’s body long-term.

期刊介绍: Body Image is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality, scientific articles on body image and human physical appearance. 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.
