Although existing research suggests that perceived pressure and intemalization of American media ideals are associated with body image problems, limited research has explored the role of acculturation and acculturative stress on these relationships in Hispanic men. Using a sociocultural framework, this study investigated the relationships between endorsement of Western appearance-based media ideals (i.e., awareness, perceived pressure, and athletic-ideal intemalization), social comparison to models in the media, body image, acculturation, and acculturative stress in Hispanic male college students (N = 100). Results from self-report measures indicated that acculturative stress was significantly positively correlated with endorsement of Western media, social comparison tendency, and body image problems, whereas acculturation to mainstream American (Anglo) culture was not significantly correlated with any outcome variables. In addition, hierarchical regression and mediational analyses generally supported the sociocultural model of eating disorders in this sample. These results suggest that researchers and clinicians should consider endorsement of Westem media, social comparison to models, and acculturative stress in the assessment and conceptualization of body image issues in Hispanic male college students.
Este trabalho analisa as projeções ethóticas prévias do auditório do Programa Silvio Santos (PSS) sobre o seu apresentador, procurando compreender – paralelamente – quem são as mulheres consideradas como Colegas de Trabalho e os motivos que as fazem participar do PSS. A metodologia de coleta de dados está alicerçada em pesquisa de campo baseada em entrevistas individuais realizadas em março de 2014. Compreende-se o ethos como a imagem de si e do outro, a qual pode ter dimensão prévia e discursiva, conforme Amossy (2008). Tal imagem tem sustentação por meio de saberes cristalizados parcialmente estáveis (imaginários sociodiscursivos), segundo Charaudeau (2008). O quadro teórico de base para se pensar a sustentação de celebridades midiáticas em Morin (1997) e os programas de auditório por Sousa (2009) e Lunardi (2005); a noção de ethos é lida em Charaudeau (2008), Amossy (2008) e Auchlin (2001). Verifica-se que o apresentador atingiu a curva olimpiana de mito e seus ethé se sustentam em credibilidade e identificação.
