In addition it was aimed at identifying the relationships among self-objectification, habitual body monitoring and body dissatisfaction. Furthermore it was designed to assess body perception and identifying whether girls/women are dissatisfied/feel anxious about their appearance or not. The study involved 300 randomly selected female students (150 from two high school and 150 from university) from Addis Ababa town. Questionnaire that was designed to measure tendency of self-objectification, habitual body monitoring, body dissatisfaction and body figure perception were used to gather information from the participants. The gathered data was recorded and analyzed using appropriate statistical packages. The finding revealed that women perceive their appearance fatter than they think they deserve • and rate slim or thin body figure as appropriate for social approval, to attract opposite sex and to appear physically attractive. In addition, the finding showed that girls/women feel anxious about their appearance. Furthermore the finding disclosed that there was strong positive relationship between self-objectification, habitual body monitoring and body dissatisfaction. Finally, it was observed that, while there was age related change in body dissatisfaction among adolescent and young adults, the tendency of self-objectification and habitual body monitoring remain the same for the two groups. | en_US |
