Tóm tắt

ABSTRACTAppearance‐based rejection sensitivity (appearance‐RS) is the tendency to anxiously expect, readily perceive, and overreact to signs of rejection based on one's appearance, and is associated with a number of psychological and social problems (Park, 2007). This study of 380 adolescents (Mage = 13.84) examined a model linking the appearance culture between friends with appearance‐RS in adolescent boys and girls, via internalisation of appearance ideals, social comparison, and body dissatisfaction. Gender differences were also tested. Consistent with expectations, appearance‐focused characteristics of the friendship context were associated with heightened appearance‐RS via internalization of appearance ideals, social comparison, and body dissatisfaction. The appearance‐focused friend characteristics that were associated with appearance‐RS included exposure to friends' appearance conversations, appearance teasing that caused distress, and perceived pressure to be attractive. Notably, associations rarely differed for boys and girls, with one exception: the association between BMI and body dissatisfaction was stronger in girls than in boys.
