A study published in Computers in Human Behavior explores how sexualized representations of body positivity may serve to increase body surveillance and acceptance of plastic surgery.
Viewing sexualized body-positive images was associated with higher levels of body surveillance, a preoccupation with monitoring one’s own physical appearance.
The relationship between viewing this sexualized content and increased monitoring and body surveillance in turn increased the acceptance of cosmetic surgery among participants.
