Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate some of the relationships between self-concept and body concept Measurements of self-description, self-acceptance, ideal self, and self-description-ideal discrepancy were correlated with measurements of body description, body acceptance, ideal body, and body description-ideal discrepancy, using a sample of 200 college freshman women. The results of this study indicate that there is a significant linear relationship between self-description and body description, ideal self and ideal body, and self-description-ideal discrepancy and body description-ideal discrepancy. The relationship between self-acceptance and body acceptance was ambiguous.
