Body image may be defined as the perception or attitude one has regarding the appearance of his or her body. Body image satisfaction has been found to be related to variables, such as biological sex, ethnicity and media messages. However, not much research has examined the relationship between body image satisfaction and gender identity. Nor has research been conducted that examines the relationship between these variables and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). The current study examined the relationship between gender identity, media messages and body image satisfaction and BDD in a college sample of men and women.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Body image may be defined as the perception or attitude one has regarding the appearance of his or her body. Body image satisfaction has been found to be related to variables, such as biological sex, ethnicity and media messages. However, not much research has examined the relationship between body image satisfaction and gender identity. Nor has research been conducted that examines the relationship between these variables and Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD). The current study examined the relationship between gender identity, media messages and body image satisfaction and BDD in a college sample of men and women.
520 $a The survey was distributed to students who were currently enrolled in a Midwestern State University through their university email addresses. A total of 5,858 undergraduate and graduate students were enrolled in the third session of Summer 2002 when the web-based surveys were distributed. A total of 41.3% of students responded to the web-based survey (n = 2417). Both male (n = 618) and female (n = 1799) students participated.
520 $a Factorial ANOVAs, hierarchical regressions and logistic regressions were used to examine the differences and interactions, and the relationships between sex, ethnicity, body mass index, and gender identity and body image satisfaction, media messages, and BDD. Some of the main findings were that significant differences were found between males and females, body mass indices, ethnic groups and gender identity for body image satisfaction and media messages. Among other variables, media messages and body mass indices were significantly related to both body image satisfaction and BDD. The findings indicate that demographic variables did not explain a noteworthy portion of body image satisfaction or BDD, thus future research should continue to examine factors that significantly influence these variables. Ethnic groups also differed in the degree to which they reported being influenced by media messages. The possible reasons for this difference should be further examined.
