Abstract
⺠This study examined the effects of superheroes on men's body image, with PSR status as a moderator. ⺠Exposure to a muscular non-PSR superhero made men feel bad about their bodies. ⺠Exposure to a muscular PSR superhero was not harmful and increased men's strength. ⺠Thus, the effects of muscular superheroes on men's body image depend on PSR status.
