Abstract

This study used a quantitative, non-experimental descriptive method to determine the respondents' comprehension to the effects of body image to their self-esteem with regards to their age, gender, year level and socioeconomic status. The questionnaire was adopted and modified from Leary's fear of negative evaluation scale and Rosenberg's self-esteem tool. Nursing students of De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute were selected as respondents using purposive sampling. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t-test and ANOVA were the statistical treatments applied. The following conclusions were drawn: 1) Majority of the respondents were 19-23 years old, female, first year level and with socioeconomic status of P250,000 and above; 2) The respondents had low-self-esteem; 3) The perception of effects of body image to young adult's self-esteem of the respondents were the same regardless of their age, gender, and socioeconomic status. Significant difference was observed when the respondents were grouped according to year level.
