Abstract：
It has been documented in the literature that the use of photo filters to alter one\'s appearance may negatively impact body image and increase the risk for thinness-oriented disordered eating behaviors. However, the prior research has neglected to investigate the association between use of photo filters and muscle dysmorphia symptomatology, which was the aim of this study. Data from the Canadian Study of Adolescent Health Behaviors (2022; N = 912), a national study of adolescents and young adults in Canada, were analyzed. Linear regression analyses revealed that the use of photo filters was associated with greater muscle dysmorphia symptomatology, including total symptomatology and Appearance Intolerance, among the overall sample. Gender significantly moderated the association between photo filter use and muscle dysmorphia symptomatology, whereby boys and young men, compared to girls and young women, who reported photo filter use had greater Drive for Size and Functional Impairment symptomatology. Findings expand prior research by emphasizing that photo filter use is related to muscularity-oriented body image concerns and behaviors. Future research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms that underpin this association.
摘要：
文献中已经记载，使用照片滤镜来改变一个人的外表可能会对身体形象产生负面影响，并增加以瘦为导向的无序饮食行为的风险。然而,先前的研究忽略了使用照片滤镜和肌肉畸形症状学之间的关联，这就是本研究的目的。数据来自加拿大青少年健康行为研究（2022；N=912），一项针对加拿大青少年和年轻人的全国性研究，进行了分析。线性回归分析显示，使用照片滤镜与更大的肌肉变形症状相关，包括总症状学和外观不耐受，在整体样本中。性别显着缓和了使用照片滤镜和肌肉畸形症状之间的关联，男孩和年轻人，与女孩和年轻女性相比，报告使用照片滤镜的患者具有更大的尺寸驱动力和功能损害症状。研究结果通过强调照片滤镜的使用与以肌肉组织为导向的身体形象关注和行为有关来扩展先前的研究。未来的研究需要阐明支持这种关联的机制。
