What factors encourage the acceptance of cosmetic surgery? Diferences in sociopsychological infuences contingent upon cosmetic surgery experience

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

While numerous sociopsychological factors afect one’s acceptance of cosmetic surgery, little is known about the sociopsychological infuences that lead to cosmetic surgery acceptance based on one’s prior experience with cosmetic surgery. The present study identifed the diferences between two groups: women with cosmetic surgery experience and women without prior cosmetic surgery experience. A research model was developed with fve hypotheses to identify the four sociopsychological infuences on cosmetic surgery acceptance: upward appearance comparison, awareness of an emphasis on beauty ideals, internalization of beauty ideals, and body surveillance. Data were collected from 651 South Korean women in their 20 s to 40 s and were analyzed using second-order confrmatory factor analysis and multi-group structural equation modeling. In the cosmetic surgery group, upward appearance comparison, awareness of an emphasis on beauty ideals, and body surveillance had a positive efect on cosmetic surgery acceptance. Internalization of beauty ideals and body surveillance also had a positive efect on cosmetic surgery acceptance in the no cosmetic surgery group. Additionally, the efects of upward appearance comparison, awareness of an emphasis on beauty ideals, and internalization of beauty ideals on cosmetic surgery acceptance varied signifcantly between the two groups. The fndings add insights on the design of therapeutic programs to prevent cosmetic surgery addiction and education programs to increase body appreciation.
