Objectives：The aim of this study was to investigate the factors that determine the intention to receive cosmetic plastic surgery, with particular attention to gender role identity and temperament character.
Methods：A total of 226 university students completed the self-rating scale, including cosmetic surgery intention and experience. The Korean Sex Role Inventory(KSRI), Multidimensional Body Self Relation Questionnaires(MBSRQ), Brief Body Dysmorphic Questionnaire(BBDQ), and Temperament and Character Inventory(TCI) were also measured. To evaluate the difference of body image and cosmetic surgery intention, according to sex and gender role identity, chi-square test and one-way analysis of variance were performed. To find the influential TCI dimension for cosmetic surgery intention, multiple regression analysis was performed. The mediating effect of body image in a relationship between gender role identity score, temperament character and cosmetic surgery intention was also evaluated by multiple regression analysis.
Results：Body satisfaction was different according to gender role identity. The androgyny types were more satisfied with their appearance than the undifferentiated types, in both sexes. Cosmetic surgery intention was significantly different according to sex only, but not gender role identity. High masculinity and femininity scores were significantly associated with body image satisfaction, but these were not associated with intention to receive cosmetic surgery. There was a full mediating effect of body image on the relationship between cosmetic surgery intention and increased harm avoidance(HA), decreased self-directedness(SD), and decreased cooperativeness(C).
Conclusion：These results show that innate difference of sex might be more important to cosmetic surgery intention than acquired gender role identity. Moreover, individuals with high HA, low SD, and low C may have difficulty in forming positive body image due to vulnerable temperament and low self-acceptance character. Negative body image, along with these characteristics would likely lead to cosmetic surgery intention.
