Abstract: A total of 463 female college students were surveyed with Female Competition For Mates Measure, Physical Appearance Comparison Scale and Selfie-Editing Questionnaire to examine the relationship between female intrasexual competition and selfie-editing behavior on SNSs and the moderating role of appearance comparison in this relationship. The results indicated that after controlling for age, female intrasexual competition significantly and positively predicted online selfie-editing behavior, but this relationship was moderated by appearance comparison. Specifically, higher levels of female intrasexual competition were related to more selfie-editing behaviors only for those females with lower appearance comparison. The findings have theoretical and practical implications for understanding and intervening online behaviors on SNSs among female college students.

Key words: intrasexual competition, appearance comparison, selfie-editing behavior, social networking sites

摘要: 为探究女大学生同性竞争与社交网站发布美化自拍行为之间的关系及外貌比较在其中的调节作用,采用同性竞争量表、身体外貌比较问卷和美化自拍量表对463名女大学生进行问卷调查。结果发现:在控制年龄后,女大学生同性竞争可以显著正向预测社交网站美化自拍行为,且这一预测作用受到外貌比较的调节,即只有低外貌比较的女大学生其同性竞争水平可显著预测其美化自拍行为。该结果对理解和干预女大学生的社交网站行为具有一定理论意义和实践意义。
