Abstract

College students are in a developmental stage that is vulnerable to social pressures, including demands related to physical appearance, which may affect body image satisfaction and levels of self-acceptance. Body image satisfaction was one of the important aspects in shaping self-acceptance, which ultimately contributed to students' psychological well-being. This study aimed to examine the relationship between body image satisfaction and self-acceptance among university students. The method used was quantitative correlational with regression analysis using four model approaches: linear, quadratic, logarithmic, and exponential. The participants consisted of 75 students selected through Accidental sampling. The results showed a significant relationship between body image satisfaction and self-acceptance, with the quadratic regression model being the best model to explain this relationship. The findings indicated that increased body image satisfaction could lead to higher self-acceptance up to a certain point, after which the effect leveled off. These results provided an understanding that although body image satisfaction played an important role in shaping self-acceptance, other factors also needed to be considered. The implication of this research encouraged higher education institutions to develop psychological interventions that supported the development of positive body image in order to enhance students' self-acceptance and overall mental health.
