Abstract
Introduction. The perception of one’s physical image is one of the most important self-awareness components in modern girls. The perception of the body influences the individual’s emotional sphere, professional identity, and interpersonal interaction. Our work is devoted to the study of physical self perception in modern psychology. The results can be applied throughout an intervention program developed by psychologists.
Purpose. In our article, we will identify the characteristics of physical self perception in female students.
Materials and Methods. In the course of the research, full-time undergraduate students were surveyed. For the empirical study, the following methods were used: “Interpersonal Diagnosis of Personality” by T. Leary, “Body Image Questionnaire” by O. A. Skugarevsky and S. V. Sivukha, “Self-Attitude Test Questionnaire” by V. V. Stolin. For data processing, we used the Wilcoxon T test was to compare samples with pairwise conjugate variants, the Mann-Whitney U test, the Spearman rank correlation, the Kruskal-Wallis H test, the Fisher Z transformation to compare 2 correlations (from 2 samples), as well as the data factorization method. The data were processed with “SPSS” 17.0 for Windows. 60 female students from various courses from 17 to 25 years of age participated in the study.
Results. We formulated and confirmed a hypothesis on the relationship between self-attitude indicators in female students and their physical self perception characteristics. We designed and tested a package of psychodiagnostic techniques for identifying the physical self perception characteristics in female students for the first time. Therefore, it justifies the novelty of our work. Discussion and Conclusion. Indicators of self-attitude related to physical self perception characteristics were identified. We found the relationship between satisfaction with one’s body and psychological profiles of social attitudes.
