Men and body image
Abstract
This chapter focuses on body dissatisfaction in men. Men’s body dissatisfaction is evaluated, using work from psychology, sociology, and gender studies to determine whether men are dissatisfied with their bodies and what aspects produce the most dissatisfaction. Work on dieting, bodybuilding and drug use, and cosmetic surgery is reviewed. Interview and questionnaire data from male bodybuilders are presented to enable an understanding of the psychological and social impacts of becoming more muscular. The motivations behind using anabolic steroids and other muscle-enlargement substances, such as synthol, as well as other drugs used to modify body appearance, such as ephedrine, are considered. New data on impact of 3D body scanning on men’s body image is presented and critiqued. Work on the social construction of the masculine body is also reviewed, to evaluate the extent of recent cultural changes on men’s body image.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
