“…In line with this nding, previous studies also indicated a gender difference pattern regarding body features that are emphasized by adolescent boys and girls [23]. Furthermore, current study found that some features such as big eyes, colored eyes, straight white teeth, plump lips, a small and upturned nose, smooth and bright skin, thick and long hair, and long eyelashes were perceived as desirable traits by participants, which is similar to previous studies [29,31]. While most of the current study participants had dark-colored eyes and hair, having blue/green eyes, blond hair and an upturned nose were desired by them, which are more commonly idealized body features in Western societies [32].…”

Background: This study investigates main components of body image from the perspectives of Iranian boys and girls. Methods: A qualitative approach was used to identify the main components of body image in Iranian adolescents. A total of 13 semi-structured focus group discussions were conducted with 84 adolescents (42 girls and 42 boys), aged 15–18 years. All focus group discussions were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim, followed by a qualitative content analysis of the data.Results: The mean age and BMI of participants were 16.2±0.9 years and 24.3±8.0 kg/m2 respectively. Regarding main components of body image, three main themes emerged from the data: 1) perceived face/hair, which included three subthemes-facial features, facial shape/form and hair, 2) perceived body, which included three subthemes-body size, body shape and bone structure and 3) perceived physical functioning which included three subthemes-physical ability, physical health and voice tone. Among mentioned themes, perceived body was the concept which was most frequently addressed by both adolescent boys and girls. When adolescents were talking about their bodies, girls more frequently mentioned their faces and its components, while boys tended to talk more about their physical functioning. Conclusion: This qualitative study provide further insight into the components of body image as perceived by Iranian boys and girls. Current findings indicated that besides those features that focused on body appearance and its aesthetic aspects, physical functioning was another main component of perceived body image by participants. These findings can contribute to the design and implementation of effective interventions aiming at improving body image and its related disorders in Iranian adolescents.

Background Although different aspects of body image have been extensively studied in Western societies, there is little evidence regarding the main physical components that contribute to perceptions of body image from the perspective of adolescents, especially in Eastern-Mediterranean regions. This study aims to investigate main physical components of body image from the perspectives of Iranian boys and girls. Methods This qualitative study has been conducted using a grounded theory approach. The focus of the current study was on identifying the main physical characteristics of body image as perceived by participants. A total of 13 semi-structured focus group discussions were conducted with 84 adolescents (42 girls and 42 boys), aged 15–18 years. All focus group discussions were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data collection continued until saturation was reached. Results The mean age and BMI of participants were 16.2±0.9 years and 24.3±8.0 kg/m2 respectively. Regarding main physical components of body image, three main themes emerged from the data: 1) perceived face/hair, which included three subthemes-facial features, facial shape/form and hair, 2) perceived body, which included three subthemes-body size, body shape and bone structure and 3) perceived physical functioning which included three subthemes-physical ability, physical health and voice tone. Among mentioned themes, perceived body was the concept which was most frequently addressed by both adolescent boys and girls. Additionally, in terms of the other remaining two themes, when adolescents were talking about their bodies, girls more frequently mentioned their faces and its features, while boys tended to talk more about their physical functioning. Conclusion This qualitative study provide further insight into the physical components of body image as perceived by Iranian boys and girls. Current findings indicated that besides those features that focused on body appearance and its aesthetic aspects, physical functioning was another main component of perceived body image by participants. These findings can contribute to the design and implementation of effective interventions aiming at improving body image and its related disorders in Iranian adolescents.

“…In addition to athletes, the behaviour of artists published in various media is often an idol for teenagers. Yonca Aybay, a senior lecturer at Eastern Mediterranean Turkey University, said, "Girls' magazines, a media which is popular among young girls, are no exception to this, and teenagers are being targeted by a "consumer culture" idol with new fashion styles and look promoted by these magazines" (Yonca Aybay, 2016;Aybay & Kara, 2018). In Indonesia, an online media site kapanlagi.com has held a poll of the most fanatical and militant fans, followed by 92,694 votes.…”

This article analyses the educational thought of Abu Al-Hasan Ali Al-Nadwi (d. 1999 A.D.). The study aimed to determine the concept of the Sirah education curriculum at the junior high school level, according to Abu Al-Hasan Ali Al-Nadwi. This type of research is categorized as library research, with data obtained from Al-Nadwi's books relating to Sirah and education in particular such as Al-Tarîq ilâ al-Madînah; Sîrah Khâtim al-Nabiyîn li al-Atfâl; Al-Sîrah Al-Nabawiyyah; Muslims in the West, Message, and Mission. The methods used in this study are descriptive research, qualitative research, and basic research. Based on the study results, two main thoughts about Sirah's education were found. First, the continuity of Sirah Education is essential, which means that Sirah education is taught for all generations. Furthermore, Sirah education means integrating Sirah education in subjects, especially religious aspects. The author's findings on the concept of the Sirah education curriculum at the junior high school level, according to Abu Al-Hasan Ali Al-Nadwi, are a set of objectives, programs, processes, and evaluations of Sirah education up to the junior high school level that can be given from class VII to grade IX junior high school. With the existence of Sirah Education, which aims to make the Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam an example for junior high school students, it is hoped that it can shape the Islamic personality of students at the junior high school level and give birth to Akhlaq al Karimah based on Tawhid.
