The personality and misconduct correlates of body modification (e.g., tattoos, piercings) and other markers of cultural deviance (Goth or provocative appearance) were examined in a sample of 279 undergraduate students. Participants completed a comprehensive battery of personality questionnaires and provided detailed self-reports of any unusual appearance markers. In addition, participants provided anonymous self-reports of five categories of misconduct. Three personality variables (openness to experience, subclinical psychopathy, and low self-esteem) independently predicted the likelihood of having deviance markers. After controlling for personality, however, the positive association between deviance markers and overall misconduct was eliminated. This finding undermines the allegation that acquiring deviance markers directly increases the likelihood of misconduct. One exception was a significant positive association between deviance markers and drug abuse that remained after controlling for personality. Our personality analysis provides a three-facet organizational framework for understanding the psychological significance of deviance markers.
Personality and misconduct correlates of body modification and other cultural deviance markers.

Postmodern perspectives of body piercing and tattooing interpret these as signifiers of the self and attempts to attain mastery and control over the body in an age of increasing alienation. In this exploratory study, 79 adolescent females, ages 15 to 18, completed the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Body Investment Scale, and the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory. Analyses revealed that body piercings and tattoos were significantly correlated with trait anger. A multiple regression analysis indicated that three of the dependent variables were predictors of the total number of body piercings and tattoos.
Examined body modification participation (tattoos or body piercings) and involvement in very high-risk behaviors common to a college student population. Two hypotheses were examined: (1) there would be a positive relationship between participation in body modification and very high-risk activities, and (2) self-esteem would mediate the relationship between body modification and risk behaviors. The Cognitive Appraisal of Risky Events--Revised, and the Coopersmith Inventory were administered to 117 undergraduate students at a small midwestern university. Risk variables included sex without protection (regular partner or stranger), sexual intercourse from coercion, illegal drug use and alcohol risk behaviors. Only the 1st hypothesis was supported. Results suggest different levels of high-risk behavior.
хм. непросто все. речь идет о студентах или подростках, прежде всего.
связь с самооценкой прослеживается не всегда.
Иными словами, говорить о связи склонности к экстремальным изменениям внешности и низкой самооценки и/или психопатии как о четко доказанном факте - довольно сложно.
искал по словам - Cosmetic Techniques; Self Esteem;
только три исследования и нашел пока. причем о соответствующем исследовании на взрослой выборке вообще ничего не знаю.
