“…Korean female students like very skinny body like underweighted and a small and pretty face like a celebrity. They have a tendency to feel satisfied when their body is similar to the ideal appearance (Kim HK, 2018). The body mass index (BMI) and body image did not play a role in their perception of sexual assertiveness (Auslander et al, 2010).…”

“…We are living in a society where skinny body is idealized and appearance is emphasized more than almost anything (Heo NR, 2018). The appearance satisfaction describes the overall satisfaction of the body using the individual satisfaction with one's face and appearance, including subjective and comprehensive evaluation on the image of how an individual oneself thinks about one's appearance and how an individual thinks others perceive about one's appearance (Kim HK, 2018). We can tell that female college students consider appearance very seriously, according to a research conducted by Gallup Korea in 2015 where 88% of respondents aged 19∼29 thought that appearance is important in life, and 80% answered that they paid attention to how they appear (Gallop Korea, 2015).…”

Background: University students belong to the life stage of early adulthood, where they are required to establish a right attitude and value system about sexual matters. When teenagers go to college, they have more chances to contact with the other sex and become to live a relatively freer life, which make them face novel situations of dealing with sexual issues. Sexual assertiveness is a mandatory communication strategy for university students, especially for female students, who are living in this rapidly changing sexual culture. So, this study aimed to examine the relationship among appearance satisfaction, self-esteem and sexual assertiveness and identify the influencing factors on sexual assertiveness in female university students. Methods: A total of 166 female undergraduate students participated in this study. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires consisted of the Body Esteem Scale, Self-esteem Scale, and Sexual Assertiveness Scale, between September and October 2018. Data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN25.0 for descriptive statistics using t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression. Results: Sexual assertiveness was positively correlated with appearance satisfaction (r=.50, p＜.001) and self-esteem (r=.64, p＜.001). Multiple regression showed that satisfaction with major (β=.12, p=.043) and self-esteem (β=.10, p＜.001) explained 48.3% of the variance in sexual assertiveness (F=52.28, p＜.001). Conclusions: Thus, in order to improve sexual assertiveness, it may be helpful to positively accept one's appearance and self-esteem and to incorporate appearance satisfaction and self-esteem when planning to counseling and intervention about sexual assertiveness for female university students.

This study attempted to unveil correlations among appearance satisfaction, psychological well-being, and interpersonal relationships among college students to contribute to the development of a mental health promotion program. Analysis results found the following: As satisfaction with body image and subjective appearance satisfaction increased, life's purpose also improved. In other words, with a higher appearance satisfaction, psychological well-being increased. Concerning the effects of appearance satisfaction on interpersonal relationships, as satisfaction with body image and appearance satisfaction increased, ‘satisfaction,’ ‘communication,’ and ‘intimacy’ improved, thereby forming positive interpersonal relationships. Regarding the influence of psychological well-being on interpersonal relationships, as psychological well-being improved, there was a greater possibility of maintaining a positive relationship with a good quality of life and a high level of intimacy. This study is meaningful because it confirmed that appearance satisfaction influences psychological well-being and interpersonal relationships in college students. However, this study was performed on students from a certain region only. Therefore, there should be further studies on more extensive populations.

This study aims to examine how appearance satisfaction, self-esteem, and learning satisfaction affect one another among college students. It also seeks to find ways to develop programs in communities and schools that can enhance all three aspects together, while collecting crucial data to support these initiatives. To achieve this, a survey was conducted with 160 college students from Daejeon and Chungcheongnam-do. Before starting the survey, the study’s purpose was explained, and it was administered only to those who consented to participate. The analysis of correlations among appearance satisfaction, self-esteem, and learning satisfaction revealed that factors related to appearance satisfaction—such as self-satisfaction, satisfaction with others’ perception, and satisfaction with mass media—are significantly positively associated with self-esteem factors, including personal, family, and social self-esteem. Furthermore, a significant positive correlation was found between appearance satisfaction and learning satisfaction. Additionally, personal, family, and social self-esteem were all significantly positively correlated with learning satisfaction. These findings suggest a strong connection among appearance satisfaction, self-esteem, and learning satisfaction. It is anticipated that the study results will provide foundational data for developing programs aimed at enhancing these aspects among college students.
