Inkskinned: Gender and Personality Aspects Affecting Heavy Tattooing—A Moderation Model
Tóm tắt
While literature findings regarding the psychosocial and behavioral aspects of tattooing are evident, findings regarding its personality aspects are mixed. The present study aimed to examine the effect of maternal separation conflict that might affect the association between physical appearance anxiety, gender, and heavy tattooing. This cross-sectional study included 606 adults (395 having at least four tattoos and 211 not tattooed). Physical appearance anxiety, maternal separation conflict, and demographics were assessed. Findings revealed significant main effects for all variables. Furthermore, gender by maternal separation conflict and physical appearance anxiety by maternal separation conflict interactions were revealed. Specifically, the gender by maternal separation conflict interaction and the physical appearance anxiety by maternal separation conflict interaction indicated high maternal separation conflict and high physical appearance anxiety among women. Among men, however, low maternal separation conflict and low physical appearance anxiety predicted heavy tattooing. Maternal separation conflict, as a moderator, plays a key role in conceptualizing both gender differences and the effect of physical appearance anxiety on becoming tattooed. Thus, different constellations of personality variables are associated with heavy tattooing for men and women.
