This study will investigate the differences in how men and women respond to same-sex friends and acquaintances engaging in self-criticism of their physical appearance. Past studies have found that physical appearance and body image are more relevant to women than to men. We expect that due to the different friendship norms that men and women follow, women will be more likely to respond to self-critical comments from friends with flattering comments, while men will be more likely to respond with honest opinions even if those responses are negative. It is also expected that following these norms will result in more positive interactions between same sex peers and acquaintances.
