Abstract
Abstract: The purpose of this research was to examine the association of body image in relation to Psychological Well-being among college students using the valid questionnaires i.e. Body Image Scale by Cooper, Taylor, et.al (1987), Psychological Wellbeing Scale by Sisodia and Choudhary (2012). The sample consisted of college students from the age 18 to 25 years from states all over India. The research assessed 80 participants, consisting of 25 males and 55 females. The data was collected offline and online data through stratified random sampling technique. The analysis of the scores was done by Pearson correlation and the results showed that there is a significant relationship between the variables i.e. Body Image and Psychological Well Being showing that there is a negative correlation between the variables. There was no gender difference found in the results. One possible reason for such results could be the societal pressure to conform to unrealistic body standards. This pressure can lead to body dissatisfaction, which has been linked to low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety.
