Abstract

The so-called appearance anxiety refers to the fact that many people lack confidence in their appearance in an environment with great appearance. Generally speaking, appearance anxiety refers to the phenomenon that people feel unconfident about their appearance and think they are not good-looking, so as to produce anxiety. The author uses the literature research method to explore the phenomenon of male appearance anxiety, and finds that there are mainly problems such as appearance cognitive dissonance, family function imbalance, poor peer group relationship, and lack of social support. This paper combines the ecosystem theory to analyze the micro-system, meso-system, and macro-system in the environment in which men are located. From the aspects of family, school, culture, peer group, and mass media, the causes of appearance anxiety are discussed, and countermeasures are proposed at different levels. This study focuses on the sociological analysis of male appearance anxiety, which has important theoretical and practical significance for enriching the study of appearance anxiety.
