Body Image Anxiety, Mental Health Factors, University StudentsAbstract
Using methods such as literature review, questionnaire surveys, interviews, and statistical analysis, this study investigates the current status of body image anxiety, contributing factors, and mental health levels among university students. It explores the correlations between various factors and the frequency of body image anxiety, as well as between anxiety frequency and mental health levels, while proposing recommendations. The results indicate: 82.08% of college students experience body image anxiety, with 75.65% of male students and 88.00% of female students affected; a negative correlation exists between body image anxiety frequency and mental health levels; significant differences in self-body satisfaction were observed across BMI groups. Self-body satisfaction, behavioral efficiency, and frequency of positive evaluations showed significant positive correlations with mental health levels, while social media influence and frequency of negative evaluations demonstrated significant negative correlations with mental health.
