Highlights: [•] We examined adolescents’ reasons for tanning and appearance motives. [•] Girls and boys were similar in their reasons for tanning. [•] Appearance reasons to tan were related to appearance orientation. [•] Sociocultural influences as reasons to tan were related to appearance orientation. [•] A guiding model is suggested for future research with adolescents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
