摘要：
One increasing trend on social media is the posting of challenging or "reality check" comments about idealized photos of thin and attractive women. The aim of the present study was to experimentally investigate the effect of viewing such reality check comments after a positive appearance comment on young women's body image. Participants were 192 women aged 17-25 years who were randomly assigned to view Instagram images accompanied by no comment, a positive appearance comment, or a reality check comment plus the positive appearance comment. In contrast to prediction, viewing positive appearance comments did not elicit more body dissatisfaction than viewing images with no comments. As predicted, however, adding a reality check comment did reduce body dissatisfaction relative to the positive appearance comment alone. It was concluded that making and viewing reality check comments provides a potential way for women to mitigate some of the negative effect of Instagram imagery. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd.
