CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Concern and discontent with one's body's appearance, including its weight and
shape, among other aspects, are difficulties linked to body image. Body image
problems are common all around the world because of the tremendous pressure to
satisfy appearance standards. These problems, while they may vary depending on the
cultural context, are widespread around the world and are associated with poor mental
and physical health. Given the significant prevalence and harmful effects of body
image issues, we need to increase our efforts to prevent and diminish them on a global
According to the study of Javaid and Ajmal (2019), it was found that
compared to teenage girls in their early years of adolescence, it was discovered that
adolescent females in their later years of adolescence had a higher degree of self-
esteem. Teenage females report feeling more aware of their weight and body image
than do teenage boys, according to independent t-test results. The findings also
indicated that, in comparison to teenage boys, teenage girls reveal less personal
In the study of Virk & Singh, (2020), The way people feel, think, and act
about their bodies and looks is known as their body image. Adolescents' self-
acceptance towards oneself (Rai et al., 2020). Although body image is commonly
understood as having to do with weight and shape, the term encompasses all aspects
of physical appearance -- including age, facial attributes and gender (Primeau , 2020).
In the study of Ganesan et al. (2018) Establishes the harsh fact that body image
perceptions and dissatisfaction are no longer a western concept and affect our
adolescent girls to a great extent. There is also a tendency toward thin body figures,
Tort-Nasarre et al. (2021) propose that the concept of teenage body image is
multifaceted and does not always entail feelings of dissatisfaction when the desired
and actual images do not align. The establishment of body image is a far more
nuanced process than the simple interpretation of information from the media and
peer pressure. When it comes to protective factors, the family and the educational
setting also matter when it comes to giving kids the resources they need to grow in
The reason why we chose this topic is because it is interesting and timely and
relevant. People nowadays tend to get concerned about their body-image that
sometimes also affects their self-esteem. According to Virk and Singh (2020) Body
image refers to how individuals think, feel and behave in relation to their body and
self-worth. Research has shown that inappropriate perception of the body image and
dissatisfaction can lead to physical and psychic problems in the youth. In today's
society, with the growing sense of ideal body image, adolescents and young adults try

their level of self-esteem. We will conduct this research within this school year 2023-
2024 in San Jose, Antique Philippines with the HUMSS students as our participants.
The data will be collected through online or face-to-face survey with the set of
questionnaires given to the consented respondents. The study will be conducted with
Senior High School students of Antique National School under HUMSS Strand. The
data will be taken, in or outside of school campus, based on the availability of the
participants.
Any information that is not related to the Body Image Satisfaction and Self-
esteem of students will not be included in this research. The information taken from

REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE
This portion of the paper discusses and presents the ideas, opinions, and
insights of various authorities on topics that have a connection to the body image
satisfaction and self-esteem.

with extensive social media use. Surveying 100 participants aged 18-25, the study
revealed a notable negative correlation: lower self-esteem linked to heightened body
image concerns in those with excessive social media engagement. The findings
propose that enhancing self-esteem could be an effective approach to alleviate body
image concerns in youth, emphasizing the importance of additional research in this
domain.
In the study of Ortho and Robin (2014) they summarize new findings
from recent longitudinal research that look at how self-esteem develops and how it
affects significant life outcomes. The three conclusions listed below are supported by
the evidence. There are no cohort variations in the self-esteem trajectory from
adolescence to old age. Firstly, self-esteem improves from adolescence to middle
adulthood, peaks at around age 50 to 60, and then declines at an increasing rate into
old life. Second, people having relatively high (or low) self-esteem at one point in
their lives are likely to have relatively high (or low) self-esteem decades later; self-
esteem is a reasonably stable, but by no means unchangeable, feature. Third, there is a
forward-looking association between high self-esteem and success and well-being in
areas of life like relationships, career, and health.
Based on the study of Ajmal (2019), The current study set out to investigate
how teenage boys' and girls' self-esteem is affected by their body image. A sample of
290 teenagers—144 of them male and 146 of them female—was drawn from Multan's
various universities and schools. The impact was assessed using the Body Image
Scale and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. The results showed a strong correlation
between teenage boys' self-esteem and how confident they were in their bodies.
Furthermore, it was shown that teenage girls in their later adolescent years possessed
a higher degree of self-esteem than teenage girls in their earlier adolescent years.
teenage females report feeling more aware of their weight and body image than do
teenage boys, according to independent t-test results. The findings also indicated that,
in comparison to teenage boys, teenage girls reveal less personal information about
themselves.
As stated by Shang et al. (2021), Through the mediation of body image and
self-esteem, this study investigates the relationship between physical exercise and
subjective well-being. The findings offer recommendations for enhancing college
students' subjective well-being. 671 college students from three Sichuan, China-based
universities of science and engineering freely answered the survey. The SPSS
statistics 19.0 was used to do mediation model analysis, descriptive statistics, and
Pearson's product-moment correlation. The findings demonstrated that (1) college
students with medium and high levels of exercise had higher subjective well-being
than those with low levels; (2) body image and self-esteem played a significant and
positive correlation with each dimension of subjective well-being (R = 0.12–0.64, p <
0.01); and (3) physical exercise level was positively and significantly correlated with
each dimension of subjective well-being. Two pathways were identified by the
mediation analysis: the serial mediating path via body image and self-esteem [indirect
effect = 0.038, 95% CI: (0.021, 0.158)] and the single mediating path via self-esteem
[indirect effect = 0.087, 95% CI: (0.037, 0.141)]. The physical exercise intervention
has been explored as having some practical implications for raising college students'
subjective well-being levels. As mentioned by Francisco, J. et al. (2019) that having a
poor body image increases the likelihood of connecting with other developmental
issues like eating disorders, depression, and low self-esteem. The goal of this study is
to ascertain how body image is perceived and how it relates to self-esteem. There is
11
currently little research on the relationship between body image and self-esteem in
Philippine public schools.
Synthesis
Overall, in most studies, the level of body image satisfaction of a person have
a positive relationship with their self-esteem. As the level of body image satisfaction
increases, the level of self-esteem also increases.
However, as being observed in the previous presented data, there are various
researches in regards to these two variables but, these studies focuses solely on adults
(especially women), colleges, and athletes. There are studies among adolescents like
what Sari et al. (2022) worked on but, it focuses only on overweight female
adolescents, and how they view themselves among others.
In order to fill the research gap, the researchers would determine the level of
body image satisfaction and self-esteem among students with variety of body
composition and body mass index.

RESEARCH DESIGN
The researchers used a quantitative-correlational approach to learn more about
the body image and self-esteem of HUMSS students at Antique National School. The
correlational study is one type of research design that looks at the relationships
between two or more variables. The researchers choose this specific methodology
since the study's focus is about the relationship between HUMSS students' self-esteem
and body image in their day-to-day lives at Antique National School. In order to split
the population into homogeneous groups (strata) and carry out the sampling
procedure, the researchers choose to employ the stratified random sampling method.
Due to the fact that the study’s primary focus is on the interaction between researchers
choose this specific methodology since the study’s focus is on the relationship
between HUMSS students’ body image satisfaction and self-esteem of the students in
The study will be conducted at Antique National School for easy access on the
participants. Antique National School Senior high have many strands but the
researchers decided that the respondents in this study will include only HUMSS

are the consent from school authorities and respondents, questionnaire assessing body
image satisfaction and self-esteem are administered before and after school hours to
ensure convenience for students, minimize disruption to regular class schedules and
increase participation rates by allowing students to focus solely on the survey without
distractions. Concurrently, random participants are selected for one on one survey
along with a structured questions to measure the level of body image satisfaction and
nuances related to body image and self-esteem, providing valuable insight into how
students interact with their environment and peers, which may influence their
