Author(s): Dr. Yeshbeer Singh and Abhishek Saklani
Abstract:This research paper investigates the relationship between body shape and self-esteem among students. The study used BMI to assess body shape and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale to measure self-esteem among 80 participants. Statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, and correlation were utilized to determine the relationship between the two variables. The results showed that body shape did not significantly impact self-esteem, challenging societal norms that emphasize the importance of achieving a certain body shape to improve self-esteem. The study suggests that interventions aimed at improving self-esteem should consider individual factors such as social support and personality traits. This article provides valuable insights that may inform interventions aimed at enhancing self-esteem in individuals and represents a significant contribution to the field of psychology.
