Abstract :

The present study aims to assess gender differences in body image perceptions among adolescent males and females in Goa. The MBSRQ was administered to a sample of 100 adolescents (50 males and 50 females) to measure the body image construct. The data obtained was analyzed using the ‘t’test to determine whether significant differences exist between male and female adolescents on the various sub–scales of body image. Results revealed that female adolescents have shown greater body dissatisfaction compared to their male counterparts.
