This study tested two models of body image satisfaction with a multiethnic sample of 339 8th grade boys from two middle schools in an urban low-income city in Massachusetts. The first model predicted that there would be a linear relationship between race, positive affect and peer popularity on body image satisfaction of 8th grade boys. Since it is possible that the impact of these two variables on body image satisfaction depends on the particular level of these variables, the second model predicted that there would be a nonlinear relationship of Positive Affect and Peer Popularity with Body Image Satisfaction. As predicted in model 1, boys with greater levels of self- and peer reported peer popularity and self-reported positive affect, had even greater levels of body image satisfaction than boys that had lower levels of these variables. Although the overall model was significant, when controlling for the effects of Positive Affect and Peer Popularity, race was not a significant factor in body image satisfaction. However, preliminary and post-hoc analyses did find that African-American and Latino boys had significantly higher levels of body image satisfaction than White boys and that Latino boys had significantly higher levels of popularity than White boys. This trend is not unexpected based on data that suggests that African-American boys begin puberty at an earlier age than both White and Latino boys, and that those boys that begin puberty at earlier ages tend to be more popular and less depressed and withdrawn. Additionally, it was expected that Latino boys in this population would be more popular and have greater levels of positive affect because they are the majority race in both of the sample schools. The second nonlinear model was also found to be significant, with a nonlinear relationship between positive affect only and body image satisfaction. After further investigation, it was determined that the significance of the nonlinear model was based on one outlier, so ultimately, only one model in this study was supported, and it accounted for 17 percent of the variance explained in body image satisfaction for 8th grade boys.
