In Study 1, the researchers recruited 150 women from the US, the UK, and Canada who were not involved invia Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. The participants were primarily Caucasian and ranged in age from 21-75. The participants self-reported their feelings of attractiveness-contingent self-esteem, their experiences with romantic rejection , and their body dissatisfaction following their experiences with romantic rejection.
In Study 2, 100 female students from a large university in New Zealand participated and provided their responses to the self-esteem scale. These women identified primarily as New Zealand European or Asian. After these baseline measures were collected, these same women were asked to report their daily experiences of romantic rejection and body dissatisfaction for a period of 10 days.
In order to counteract these potential negative consequences of romantic rejection, the authors state that “reducing harmful beliefs about the centrality of attractiveness for women’s self-worth may help reduce or mitigate the detrimental effects of ACSE and unfavorable social feedback…on women’s body dissatisfaction.” The authors review previous research which suggests that “spontaneous self-affirmation might mitigate the links between ACSE, romantic rejection, and body dissatisfaction.
Good thing they aren’t men then. Men face rejection constantly when trying to date.
