Relationship between Praise and Criticism from Different Sources and Male Body Image

Research has indicated an increased prevalence in male body image dissatisfaction. However, little information is known about how praise and criticism from different sources including female and male family and peers effect male body image. This study hopes to fill this gap by examining how the source ofthe praise and criticism men receive is related to body dissatisfaction and muscle dysmorphia. Two hundred and fifty male participants from the United States who are over the age of 18 were recruited from an online system to complete surveys about the body-related praise and criticism they receive from male and female friends and family members, muscle dysmorphia, and male body dissatisfaction. The main findings suggested praise and criticism from different peer sources appear to have a greater impact on muscle dysmorphia and body dissatisfaction than family sources. Rowe,
