| Abstract: | The term body image encompasses a wide range of beliefs held by an individual regarding what an 'ideal body' should look like in terms of physical appeal. This encompasses what one believes to be the ideal height, weight, shape, muscularity and sexual attractiveness, amongst other features. They summate to create an internalized perception of one's actual body in comparison to their vision of the ideal body. This perception in turn influences one's behaviour and may encourage body-modulatory behaviours. [excerpt] |
