"Eat purple potatoes, pumpkins, chicken sausages for breakfast, eat a small bowl of buckwheat noodles, a few broccoli, half cucumbers for lunch, half corn, an egg, an orange for dinner..." Yi Kun, who is 170 centimeters tall and weighs 110 pounds, plans to lose fat during the holidays, which is her three meals a day. Behind this "careful" recipe is the facial anxiety that has plagued her for 10 years.
Buying a 4-week dose of diet pills costs Zuo Zhuo two months of living expenses. Although she knew that such a slimming special drug from "Wild Road" could bring great harm to the body, the almost pathological pursuit of "bamboo pole legs" and "A4 waist" still made her can't help but place an order.
Like Yi Kun and Zuo Zhuo, there are not a few college students who are troubled by appearance anxiety. The survey showed that 59.03% of college students had some degree of appearance anxiety. Among them, the proportion of severe appearance anxiety among boys (9.09%) was higher than that of girls (3.94%), while the proportion of moderate anxiety in girls (59.67%) was higher than that of boys (37.14%).
The survey found that inferiority psychology (53.51%), the generally popular monotonous aesthetic (51.68%), the excessive expectation of others ' approval ( 49.39%), and the psychology of comparing with each other (47.51%) are the main causes of appearance anxiety.
Chi Yukai, associate professor of the School of Psychology of South China Normal University, introduced that psychological research has found that some college students pay too much attention to themselves, are self-centered, are more likely to have appearance anxiety problems, and even social phobia due to appearance anxiety.
The survey found that 48.65% of the college students surveyed said that they would actively skin care and exercise because of their appearance anxiety, while improving their makeup skills, and nearly half of the college students said that they could properly beautify themselves. In addition, for how to alleviate appearance anxiety, 72.65% of the respondents said that they should learn to accept their imperfections; 57.38% said that they should be good at discovering their own advantages and looking at themselves correctly; 50.31% said that they should look for self-expectations and meet their own expectations; 45.11% said that they should fight against inferiority and become more confident.
Chi Yukai suggested that college students should first adjust their understanding of beauty, correctly understand beauty, and understand beauty is also a double-edged sword. Secondly, it is acceptable for young people to carry out beauty and medical aesthetic projects to an appropriate extent, but this is not a long-term solution to solve the development path of life, self-disciplined work and rest, healthy lifestyle, and appropriate clothing and makeup can help college students become better. "The ultimate source of human attractiveness is not beauty." Having poetry and books in the belly should be a more important pursuit for college students.
