Abstract Introduction: The research objectives are to examine the degree of satisfaction of students in two high schools in Eastern Croatia, regarding their physical appearance and self-esteem based on their gender and type of school - Grammar school or Vocational school. Furthermore, it aims to determine the correlation between degree of satisfaction regarding physical appearance and self-esteem and examines the differences in socio-economic status among the students of the two schools.Methods: The study is designed as a cross-sectional research performed in the Secondary Health and Veterinary School and Grammar School in Vinkovci. The study includes 278 participants. The data were collected in three ways. First, by using a survey on socio-economic status of the participants. Second, a modified test consisting of fourteen questions was used to examine the level of body image satisfaction. Third, a test consisting of ten questions was used to examine the level of self-esteem.Results: Median age of participants is 18 years. The research established a linear correlation between the body image satisfaction and gender of the students in both schools. An association between level of body image satisfaction and self-esteem was not established.Conclusion: To conclude with, adolescents in this region of Croatia are not overly concerned about their physical appearance despite relatively decreased self-esteem.

The present study attempted to elucidate the nature and extent of relationship between body satisfaction and life satisfaction of the diagnosed Human Immune Virus/Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome ((HIV/AIDS) patients and the individuals with no known chronic physical and/or mental health illnesses. Eighty participants encompassing forty diagnosed HIV/AIDS patients comprising twenty seven males (M = 35.63, SD = 4.58) and thirteen females (M = 33.69, SD = 3.57) and forty postgraduate students containing twenty eight male (M = 28.00, SD = 4.78) and twelve females (M = 24.17, SD = 5.99) took part in the present study. The body image satisfaction and life satisfaction were assessed with the help of Body Esteem Scale for Adolescents and Adults (Mendelson, Mendelson, & White, 2001) and Life Satisfaction Scale (Alam & Shrivastava, 2001), respectively. The results of the study demonstrated that the participants suffering from HIV/AIDS had lower mean body image satisfaction score (M = 48.78, SD = 6.61) as compared to the normal participants (M =76.90, SD =5.12). Likewise, the life satisfaction scores of HIV/AIDS showed lesser mean score (M =38.50, SD =4.88) as compared to the normal healthy (M =44.25, SD = 3.33). The current theoretical and empirical findings related to body image satisfaction, life satisfaction and chronic physical illnesses have been used to discuss the results of the present study. The findings of the study would have noteworthy theoretical and practical implications for researchers, clinicians, government health policy makers, health professionals and administrators.

Previous research has pointed out the importance of Cyprus in the body image literature as well as the importance of body-image cross-cultural investigations. The purpose of the current study was to compare appearance satisfaction, investment in appearance and weight and appearance-related anxiety between female university students from Cyprus and female university students from France, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Spain and Poland. Participants were 199 females whose scores on the measures of interest were compared to archived published means from the other six countries. Results indicated that Greek-Cypriot female university students scored significantly higher than all countries assessed on investment in appearance and weight and appearance-related anxiety. Additionally, female participants from Cyprus scored in the middle of the appearance satisfaction scale scoring higher than Greece and France, lower than the Netherlands and Germany and having similar results to Spain and Poland. A discussion follows elaborating on the argument of why Cyprus is significant in the body image literature, and the interpretation of the results using the cognitive-behavioral perspective of body image satisfaction. Recommendations for mental health professionals and other professionals in the public health sector are also provided.

This study aims to determine and compare the body image satisfaction, illogical thoughts and believes of amputation persons with ordinary persons. In this study we used the scientific – comparison method. The study sample consists of all amputation people that are under the sponsored of martyr and amputee's affairs foundation and social welfare organization, and the equal or matched ordinary people with those in Qorveh. According to the limitation of persons with amputation, 25 subjects of amputation persons that was under the support of martyr and amputee's affairs foundation and social welfare organization was selected purposefully and also 25 subjects of ordinary people was chosen randomize as samples; (they) were selected as statistical sample with the cloning and homogenization method with amputation group. For measuring body image satisfaction, the 24 questions of body image satisfaction scale of Mashhad's Ferdowsi University were used (Parizade, 2012). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of test (α = 0/91) show the acceptable reliability of this scale in measuring satisfaction of body image. To assess the logical thoughts and believes; the 40 questions of logical thoughts and believes questionnaire from Jones was used that validated in Ahwaz (Abadi and Moatamedin, 2005). The final test score is 0/79 that shows the high detection strength test. For data analysis, also the Pearson's correlation coefficient, the independent t-test was used. The results of hypothesis research testing show that there is meaningful and negative relationship between body image satisfaction and illogical thoughts and believe of ordinary people with amputation persons. In other words, the increscent of body image satisfaction results are decreased their illogical believes in both groups. Also the results indicate that a meaningful difference is observed between the satisfaction of body image and illogical thoughts and believes in both groups of ordinary and amputation persons. In other words, people with amputation have a lower body image satisfaction and a higher illogical believes about themselves.

Introduction: It is well documented fact that there are differences in the actual and perceived body image among both sexes. This study was aimed to assess the association of monthly allowance with body-mass index (BMI), and body image perception among university students. Methods: The design of this study was a cross sectional design A total of 152 students were registered from the International Islamic University Malaysia, Kuantan Campus.A questionnaire administered comprised of three sections i.e. socio-demographic, anthropometric and body image perception data using Figure Rating Scale (FRS) & Shape Questionnaire (BSQ). The collected data on the three aspects were compiled and statistically analyzed using descriptive analysis and Pearson correlation analysis. Results: The statistical analysis revealed that there was no association between the student students’ allowance and body image perception, however, still using considerable amount of their allowances for looking good. The FRS assessment shows that the respondents perceived degree of self-discrepancy between current and ideal body image. The body image perception assessed with BSQ showed the respondents are least concern about body shape. However, there was significant P<0.05) association between body-mass index (BMI) and body image perception assessed with FRS and BSQ. Conclusions: This study indicates that there is a general trend among the students that when their BMI increases consequently their body image satisfaction decreases. Therefore, it can be inferred that the students spend considerable amount of their stipend on looking good and due to the miss-perception of body image satisfaction.

The aim of the present study was to examine the Body Image Satisfaction Questionnaire (BISQ) as a multidimensional instrument, designed to measure individuals’ body image satisfaction. A sample of 790 Portuguese healthy adults (female = 399; male = 391) aged 18 and 49 years old (M = 28.61, SD = 7.97) completed the BISQ. Exploratory factor analysis of the BISQ provided initial psychometric validity for a five-factor model assessing five dimensions of body image, namely, face, upper torso, lower torso, lower body, and overall body appearance. Confirmatory factor analysis supported this five-correlated model, in which a bifactor model provided the best fit to the data, defining a body image satisfaction factor and five specific factors. The BISQ clearly distinguished between various dimensions of body image satisfaction and showed satisfactory psychometric quality through factor analyses. This measure may have a broad application for research and practice, as a tool for capturing individual body image satisfaction.

Body Image Perception

Aging leads to psychological losses and various physical changes that, associated with body-stereotyped patterns imposed by society, can cause disturbances in the body image perception (BIP) in the elderly. The aim of this study was to evaluate BIP in older adults living in the city of Campina Grande / PB and its relationship with different anthropometric and body composition indicators. This cross-sectional study was carried out with older adults of both sexes enrolled in the Family Health Strategy of Campina Grande, PB. BIP was considered as a dependent variable and body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), triceps skinfold (TSF), and arm fat area (AFA) as independent variables. The association between BIP and anthropometric indicators was verified using the Pearson chi-square test (X²), simple and multiple logistic regression, with significance level of p <0.05. Overall, 420 older adults were interviewed (68.1% women), of whom 409 reported their actual body image perception. Regarding the perception of idealized body image, 11 individuals did not respond and 230 were satisfied, since 179 desired another silhouette. Individuals with BMI indicative of overweight / obesity were more likely of showing body image dissatisfaction compared to those with normal weight. Subjects with excessive TSF showed greater body image dissatisfaction in relation to those with normal weight. Women were more likely of showing body image dissatisfaction. Thus, it was observed that variables BMI, TSF and sex were independently associated with body image satisfaction.

Abstract Objectives Delayed puberty & short stature in girls with Turner syndrome(TS) can lead to low body image, self-esteem & satisfaction. We aimed to evaluate body image, self-perception, and satisfaction among girls with TS using Multi-Dimensional Body Image Self Relations Questionnaire -Appearance Scale (MBSRQ-AS). Methods Patients with karyotype-proven diagnosis of TS between 15-21 years were included after they achieved final adult height. We used MBSRQ-AS instrument with 5 sub-scales: Appearance Evaluation(AE), Appearance Orientation(AO), Body Areas Satisfaction Scale(BASS), Overweight Preoccupation(OWP) and Self Classified Weight(SCW) sub-scales. Mean scores were compared to available sex matched population norms & compared between different sub-cohorts. Results Of 59 eligible girls, 37 girls agreed to participate with mean age : 17.35 ±1.6 years. Turner girls had significantly lower scores compared to sex-matched population norms in AO [mean(SD): 3.32(0.42) vs 3.91(0.6)]; (p&lt;0.001) and SCW [mean(SD): 3.26(0.71) vs 3.57(0.73); (p=0.01)] sub-scales. In contrast, they had slightly higher scores in BASS [ mean(SD): 3.38(0.74) vs 3.23(0.74); (p=0.23)] & OWP [mean(SD): 3.12(0.39) vs 3.03(0.96); (p=0.21)] sub-scales though not statistically significant. Girls with classic 45 X karyotype and those who were overweight/obese had lower scores in AE & AO sub-scales compared to normal population (p&lt;0.05). Conclusion Compared to sex-matched population norms, Turner girls are not reporting negative effects due to their appearance & report general satisfaction with most areas of their body; however, Turner girls with classic karyotype or who were obese/overweight were generally unhappy with their physical appearance. They also seem to not focus their attention on their appearance.
