ABSTRACT

This study examined whether adolescents’ use of (a) body and (b) face filters was related to acceptance of cosmetic surgery (ACS) (i.e. intrapersonal and social acceptance, and intention). Attention was paid to possible differences according to adolescents’ (1) sex, (2) self-esteem, and (3) pubertal timing. A cross-sectional online survey among 333 Flemish adolescents (M_age = 16.06, SD = 1.45) with 71.2% girls was used to test the hypothesized model via structural equation modeling. The use of face filters was positively linked to social motivations of ACS and consideration of cosmetic surgery. Body filter use was only linked to social motivations of ACS. Only girls showed a link between body filter use and social ACS. The findings underline the role of filter use in adolescents’ ACS.

摘要

本研究调查了青少年对 (a) 身体和 (b) 面部过滤器的使用是否与整容手术 (ACS) 的接受度（即个人和社会接受度以及意图）相关。注意根据青少年的 (1) 性别，(2) 自尊和 (3) 青春期时间可能存在的差异。一项针对 333 名佛兰芒青少年的横断面在线调查（M_年龄 = 16.06，SD = 1.45) 和 71.2% 的女孩被用来通过结构方程建模来测试假设模型。面部过滤器的使用与 ACS 的社会动机和整容手术的考虑呈正相关。身体过滤器的使用仅与 ACS 的社会动机有关。只有女孩显示身体过滤器的使用与社交 ACS 之间存在联系。研究结果强调了过滤器使用在青少年 ACS 中的作用。
