چکیده

این پژوهش با هدف بررسی عوامل مؤثر بر هویت‌یابی ورزشکاران بدنساز مرد و تأثیر فرهنگ مصرف بر این فرآیند در شهر کرمان انجام شد. مطالعه از رویکرد ترکیبی (کیفی و کمی) استفاده کرد؛ بخش کیفی با روش گراندد تئوری کلاسیک (25 مصاحبه نیمه‌ساختاریافته تا اشباع نظری) و بخش کمی با روش توصیفی-تحلیلی (385 پرسشنامه با نمونه‌گیری تصادفی ساده) طراحی شد. جامعه آماری شامل مردان بدنساز فعال (حداقل 6 ماه سابقه) در باشگاه‌های کرمان بود. یافته‌های کیفی نشان داد که هویت‌یابی تحت تأثیر عواملی چون محدودیت‌های اقتصادی، فشارهای اجتماعی، هنجارهای فرهنگی، تبلیغات رسانه‌ای، جنسیت، فناوری و نیازهای روان‌شناختی شکل می‌گیرد و ورزشکاران از مصرف خلاقانه و تلاش شخصی برای تمایز و مقبولیت بهره می‌برند. تحلیل کمی با رگرسیون چندمتغیره(۰.۶۷R² =) تأیید کرد که عوامل رسانه‌ای (ضریب ۰.۳۵۱) و اقتصادی (ضریب ۰.۳۰۱) تأثیر قوی‌تری دارند. نتایج حاکی از آن است که مصرف‌گرایی در بدنسازی فرآیندی چندلایه و متأثر از ساختارهای اجتماعی- فرهنگی است که با سیاست‌گذاری هوشمندانه (فناوری، آموزش و تبلیغات هدفمند) می‌تواند به سمت رفتارهای سالم هدایت شود.

چکیده [English]

This study aimed to examine the factors influencing the identity formation of male bodybuilders and the role of consumer culture in this process in the city of Kerman. A mixed-methods approach (qualitative and quantitative) was employed. The qualitative phase was conducted using the classical grounded theory method, with 25 semi-structured interviews carried out until theoretical saturation was reached. The quantitative phase was designed using a descriptive-analytical method, with 385 questionnaires distributed through simple random sampling. The statistical population included active male bodybuilders (with a minimum of six months of experience) in Kerman gyms.Qualitative findings revealed that identity formation is shaped by factors such as economic constraints, social pressures, cultural norms, media advertising, gender, technology, and psychological needs. Athletes engage in creative consumption and personal efforts to achieve distinction and social acceptance. Quantitative analysis using multiple regression (R² = 0.67) confirmed that media factors (β = 0.351) and economic factors (β = 0.301) had the strongest impact.The results suggest that consumerism in bodybuilding is a multilayered process influenced by socio-cultural structures. With smart policy-making—such as the use of technology, education, and targeted advertising—it can be directed toward healthier behavioral patterns.
