Abstract

This study tested the roles of public self-consciousness, body surveillance, body shame, and body dissatisfaction based on culture cultivation theory and self-objectification theory with the aim of revealing the psychological mechanisms underlying the influence of media exposure on diet intention. As a result of conducting a survey on 350 women in their twenties and performing structural equation modeling, this study found that media exposure causes public self-consciousness, which increases body surveillance and body shame, thereby increasing body dissatisfaction and thus increasing diet intention. In addition, public self-consciousness indirectly influenced body shame through body surveillance. Body surveillance was found to have an indirect effect on diet intention through body dissatisfaction, whereas body shame had a direct effect on diet intention. Based on the results, we presented theoretical and practical implications of this study and suggestions for future research.

본 연구는 미디어 노출이 다이어트 의도에 영향을 미치는 심리적 기제를 밝히기 위해 문화배양이론과 자기대상화이론에 기초하여 공적자기의식, 신체감시성, 신체수치심, 신체불만족의 역할을 상정하고 그 경로를 검증하였다. 20대 여성 350명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 구조방정식 모형분석을 통해 그 영향관계와 경로를 검증한 결과, 미디어 노출로 인해 야기된 공적자기의식이 신체감시성이나 신체수치심을 거쳐 신체불만족에 영향을 주고 이는 다이어트 의도로 이어지는 모형이 지지되었다. 또한 공적자기의식은 신체감시성을 매개로 신체수치심에 영향을 미쳤다. 신체감시성은 신체불만족을 매개로 다이어트 의도에 영향을 미치는 반면 신체수치심은 다이어트 의도에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 연구의 이론적 및 실무적 의의와 후속연구를 위한 제언을 제시하였다.
