Cross-sectional online survey with path analysis
Sample size / 標本数
N = 244
Population / 対象
Predominantly college-aged men
Method / 方法
Participants completed self-report measures of media-ideal internalization, self-objectification, body surveillance, body shame, BMI and drive for muscularity; the authors tested hypothesized paths.
Main finding / 主結果
Media-ideal internalization was the strongest predictor of drive for muscularity, followed by BMI; the objectification variables did not mediate the relationship as hypothesized.

PLAIN-LANGUAGE SUMMARY

What the study says.

Men who more strongly internalized media ideals also reported a stronger drive for muscularity. Because the survey measured all variables at one time, it cannot show that media ideals caused that drive.

平易な日本語要約

この研究から言えること。

メディア上の理想像を強く内面化した男性ほど、筋肉を求める傾向も強く報告しました。ただし一時点の調査なので、メディア理想が原因だとは結論できません。

LIMITATIONS / 限界

Read before generalizing.

Cross-sectional self-report data cannot establish temporal order or causation, and a predominantly college-aged male sample limits generalization.
