Title

BODY-IMAGE AND SOCIAL ANXIETY AMONG ADOLESCENT FEMALES

Abstract

The adolescent period is associated with rising concern for physical appearance. The image we have about our body has diverse impacts on our mental and physical health which influences our behaviour and mental processes in social situations. When an individual is insecure about his/her appearance it might cause elevation in their anxiety levels. A negative body image can negatively influence a person’s thought processes. Adolescent females relatively have more concern about their physical appearance and higher rates of prevalence of social anxiety are identified among them. Therefore, this study aims to assess the influence of body-image on an individual’s mental attitudes and how it in turn triggers social anxiety. This is a qualitative research and is done using interview method. The sample population consists of 20 adolescent females between the ages of 17 -18. The intense fear of being judged by others based on their appearance and the insecurity among adolescent females that restricts them from social interaction substantially affects their mental health, making them more vulnerable to depression and anxiety disorders. Therefore, timely intervention is mandatory to curb the ill effects associated with social anxiety.

Key Words

Body-image, social anxiety, adolescent period, depression, anxiety disorders.
