Associations between muscularity-oriented social media content and muscle dysmorphia among boys and men
This study aimed to determine whether viewing muscularity-oriented social media content was associated with muscle dysmorphia among a sample of boys and men from Canada and the United States. Data from the Study of Boys and Men (2024; N = 1553) were analyzed. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to determine the associations between viewing content with 1) muscular bodies, 2) muscle-building dietary supplements (e.g., whey protein), and 3) muscle-building drugs (e.g., anabolic-androgenic steroids) on social media and probable muscle dysmorphia. Findings revealed strong and positive associations between viewing muscularity-oriented social media content and probable muscle dysmorphia. Specifically, greater frequency of viewing content related to muscular bodies, muscle-building dietary supplements, and muscle-building drugs were all associated with having probable muscle dysmorphia, independent of total time spent on social media. The findings from this study underscore the need for more research to understand the directionality and risks associated with specific social media content among boys and men. Greater media and health literacy is needed for boys and men to support appropriate social media use.
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.
