Abstract

Body image is how we see our body, our perceptions and attitudes towards our body, and how attractive we think our bodies to be. Body image is influenced by several factors. The purpose of this study is to find if there’s any relation between body image, self-esteem, and anxiety, depression and stress. The study was administered on 54 females and 76 males from all over India. The samples were collected by administering a Body Image Questionnaire, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Anxiety, Depression and Stress Scale (ADSS).
