This research evaluates the contributions of three dimensions of appearance culture (appearance magazine exposure, appearance conversations with finds, and peer apperance criticism) and body mass index (BMI) to internalization of appearance ideals and body image dissatisfaction. Four hundred thiry three girls and 347 boys in grades 7 thorugh 10 responded to several measures on a self - report questionnaire. The result path analyses indicated that internalization mediated the relationship between appearance conversations with friends and body dissatisfaction for both boys and girls. In addition, internalization, peer appearance criticism, and BMI made direct contributions to body dissatisfaction for boys and girls, although the strength of the relationships varied by gender. The proposed mediated relation between appearance magazine exposure and body dissatisfaction was confirmed only for the girls. The findings provide needed information about the contributions of the peer appearance culture to internalization and body image disturbances for adolescent boys and girls.
