Özet
:
The history of body image research has largely focused on pathology with an emphasis on understanding negative body image, to the exclusion of exploring experiences of positive body image (Castonguay, Gilchrist, Mack, & Sabiston, 2013). Moreover, positive body image research has historically focused on girls and women (Webb & Hardin, 2016). The purpose of this study was to explore how heterosexual young adult men maintain positive body image, even in the face of body image-related threats. Twelve men aged 19 to 30 who stated to have a positive body image were interviewed by telephone about their individual experiences of the phenomenon of positive body image, and the ways in which they maintain a positive body image even in the face of body image-related threats. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using Consensual Qualitative Research (CQR; Hill, Thompson, & Williams, 1997; Hill, Knox, Thompson, Williams, & Hess, 2005). Findings were interpreted from an affect regulation framework (Webb & Hardin, 2016), which includes body appreciation (Avalos, Tylka, & Wood-Barcalow, 2005) and body image flexibility (Sandoz, Wilson, Merwin, & Kellum, 2013) in its understanding of how individuals manage to maintain a positive body image even in the face of body image-related threats (Webb, Butler-Ajibade, & Robinson, 2014). Clinical implications include consideration of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT; Hayes, Strosahl, & Wilson, 1999) as a support mechanism for heterosexual male patients who report body image disturbance. Suggestions for future research directions include issues of sampling specificity and longitudinal designs using an affect regulation framework.
