| 其他摘要 | Body image is a person's thoughts, feelings and perception of the aesthetics or attractiveness of his own body. It is one of the important topics of social and cultural psychology. Its tripartite influence model has been widely verified in independent social and cultural factors such as traditional media, peers and parents, but it has not been empirically tested in the compound social and cultural factors with both media and peer attributes. The current social and cultural environment intensifies women's appearance anxiety. As a special group of women, postoperative breast cancer patients are more likely to have negative body image and related psychological problems due to changes in their appearance such as breast loss. Therefore, this research takes postoperative patients with breast cancer as a typical research object to explore their body image characteristics, and based on the tripartite influence model, compared with healthy adult women, to explore the impact of the new concept of body talk on social media on body image, as well as the mechanism of internalization and appearance comparison between them, in order to get the theoretical enlightenment of preventing and improving women's negative body image.
Study 1 analyzed the phenomena of body image, body talk on social media, internalization and appearance comparison of breast cancer patients before and after mastectomy. Study 1 conducted an open-ended questionnaire survey on 235 breast cancer patients, and conducted a qualitative analysis of 3304 responses related to their body image and body talk on social media etc. The results showed that breast cancer patients changed in four aspects before and after operation, namely, there was a cognitive change from "satisfaction" to "self-abasement" in body image, a frequency change from "less" to "more" and a content change from "external dress" to "internal nursing" in body talk on social media, and a standard change from "social standard" to "self pursuit" in internalization. In terms of appearance comparison, there are frequency changes from "less" to "more" and object changes from "good-looking others" to "yourself before illness".
Based on the changes observed in Study 1，study 2 used quantitative methods to explore and analyze the influence and mechanism of body talk on social media, internalization and appearance comparison on body image, and verified the applicability of the tripartite influence model with the composite social and cultural factors (i.e. body talk on social media). Study 2 used the SNS Body Talk Scale, Internalization subscale of Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Questionnaire-4-Revised, Upward physical appearance comparisons Appearance scale, Body Appreciation Scale-2, Multidimensional Body-self Relations Questionnaire-3-BASS and Multidimensional Body-self Relations Questionnaire-3-AE as tools to collect 284 valid questionnaires of postoperative breast cancer patients and 300 healthy women. The results showed that the body image level of breast cancer patients was lower than that of healthy women in three dimensions: body appreciation, body areas satisfaction and appearance evaluation; There is a significant correlation between body talk on social media and body image of postoperative breast cancer patients, and internalization and appearance comparison have mediating effects between them.
To sum up, the conclusion of this study is that compared with healthy women, the levels of body image dimensions of postoperative breast cancer patients are lower; The body image of postoperative breast cancer patients in different demographic variables is different, and there are also differences compared with healthy women; There is a significant correlation between body talk on social media and body image of postoperative breast cancer patients, and the significant correlation between the two also exists in healthy women; Internalization and appearance comparison play important mediating roles between body talk on social media and postoperative breast cancer patients' body image. |
