“…Psychological well-being, family functioning, extraversion, perceived physical attractiveness and weight reported by adolescents students revealed that girls were significantly more likely than boys to be dissatisfied with their weight and physical appearance, and these factors explained significantly more variation in self-esteem and psychological well-being than other psychological variables (Delfabbro, Winefield, Anderson, & Winefield, 2011). With the data relationship between body dissatisfaction and self-esteem for adolescent girls was not moderated by school type (Delfabbro, Winefield, Anderson, & Winefield, 2011).…”

Empirical studies established a link between body image measured as body mass index and psychological variables in western cultures with less inclusion of indigenous Africans. The present study investigated the influence of body image satisfaction on the psychological well-being of individuals within the African cultural context. Body image dimension was redefined and expanded to include four other components: facial appearance, appendage appearance, physical appearance, and complexion and body mass index. The sample was drawn from Ghana but covered nationals of 9 African countries. Data were analyzed using the Pearson product moment correlation, analysis of variance and hierarchical multiple regression. Findings revealed significant positive relationship between body image satisfaction and psychological well-being with Africentric values moderating the relationship as hypothesized. Also males were more satisfied with their body image than females. However, contrary to expectation level of education had no significant effect on a person's body image satisfaction.

Objective: The present study aimed to compare body dissatisfaction, food choices, physical activity and weight-management practices by gender and school type. Design: A questionnaire was used to obtain height, weight, body image perception using Stunkard's figure rating scale, food choices, physical activity and weightmanagement practices. Setting: Nine single-and mixed-gender schools located in Bangkok Metropolitan Region, Thailand. Subjects: Students in 10th-12th grade, aged 15-18 years (n 2082). Results: Only 18 % of females and 21 % of males did not indicate body dissatisfaction. About 66 % of females selected a thinner ideal figure than their current figure. Among males, 44 % wanted a thinner figure, but 35 % wanted a bigger figure. However, univariate analysis found differences by school type but not gender in the degree of body dissatisfaction; students in single-gender schools had more body dissatisfaction. Females reported using more weight-management practices but less physical activity, while males reported healthier food choices. Participants in single-gender schools had healthier food choices compared with those in mixed-gender schools. Adolescents who were at increased risk of a greater degree of body dissatisfaction were females, attended single-gender schools, had lower household income, higher BMI and less physical activity. Conclusions: Most participants reported being dissatisfied with their current body shape, but the type and level of dissatisfaction and use of weight-management practices differed by gender and type of school. These findings suggest that programmes to combat body dissatisfaction should address different risk factors in males and females attending single-and mixed-gender schools.

“…Yüksek yaşam doyumu düzeyine sahip ergenlerin, sosyal stres ve kaygı puanlarının daha düşük olduğunu tespit edilmiştir. Delfabro, Wınefıeld, Anderson, Hammarström, Wınefıeld (2011), kızların olumsuz beden imgelerinin erkeklere göre anlamlı şekilde yüksek olduğunu ayrıca kız öğrencilerin beden imajlarının, psikolojik iyi oluşu anlamlı bir şekilde erkeklere göre daha fazla açıkladığını ifade etmektedir. Kashdan ve Roberts (2004) sosyal kaygı, sosyal yetkinlik beklentisi, pozitif ve negatif duygular arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla yaptıkları çalışmada, sosyal kaygısı yüksek olan öğrencilerin, negatif duygularının daha fazla olduğu sonucuna ulaşmışlardır.…”
