Summary:	Male body image has gained increasing attention among counselors and researchers within the past decade in light of the growing percentage of men reporting dissatisfaction with their bodies. For example, Garner (1997) found that male body dissatisfaction increased by 187% at the end of the 20th century, from 15% in 1972 to 43% in 1997. Sexual minority (bisexual and gay) males are believed to be at greater risk for body image disturbance and related conditions such as disordered eating and steroid use than straight males (Boroughs & Thompson, 2002; Chaney, 2008; Copeland, & Peters, 1999; Drummond, 2005a; Feldman & Meyer, 2007; Harvey & Robinson, 2003; Morgan & Arcelus, 2009; Soban, 2006; Wiseman & Moradi, 2010). Researchers have produced evidence that sociocultural influences impact male body image development (Barlett, Vowels, & Saucier, 2008; Duggan & McCreary, 2004; Pope, Phillips, & Olivardia, 2000; Ryan & Morrison, 2009). Empirical investigation of sociocultural factors has focused primarily on the effects of media despite the fact that Cash (2002) identified interpersonal experiences as a primary factor in body image formation. Evidence exists that experiences with family members, friends, and intimate partners likely impact the body image development of males (Ambwani & Strauss, 2007; Boroughs & Thompson, 2002; Bottamini & Ste-Marie, 2006; Carlin, 2008; Drummond, 2005a; Fawkner, 2004; Galli & Reel, 2009; Harvey & Robinson, 2003; Morgan & Arcelus, 2009; Ryan & Morrison, 2009; Sira & Parker White, 2010; Soban, 2006), yet the extant data consist of fragmented findings from primarily heterosexual samples. Morgan and Arcelus (2009) further noted that "...gay men experienced a social and media environment more toxic towards body image..." than straight males (p. 41). To address this gap in the literature, the purpose of the study was to explore the role of experiences involving family, friends,  Read more...
