| Summary: | This study aimed at investigating the role of body image and self-esteem in predicting social
anxiety amongst students from two universities in Malaysia. A total of 320 students were
recruited in this study, of which 168 were the students of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and
another 152 were the students of Universiti Kuala Lumpur. Three scales were adopted in this
study whereby the Rosenberg Self-Esteem (RSE) scale was used to measure self-esteem, the
Multidimensional Body-Self Relation Questionnaire (MBSRQ) was used to measure body
image, while Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN) was used to measure social anxiety. Multiple
regression analysis was conducted to measure the predictive value of body image and selfesteem
on social anxiety. The findings revealed that self-esteem and four dimensions of body
image namely fitness orientation, appearance evaluation, health evaluation and health
orientation significantly predicted social anxiety amongst the study sample. Hence, implying
the importance of self-esteem and some dimensions of body image in influencing social
anxiety. |
