Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of the present research was to compare body image problems and Social Physique Anxiety between obese and normal weight adolescents by examining the moderating role of sociocultural influence on weight loss and body change. Method: In this cross-sectional-descriptive study, 70 obese adolescent girls and 72 adolescent girls with normal weight were selected from among Tabriz City high school students and were matched according to education, gender, and age. Results: The results of two-factor ANOVA showed significant difference between obese adolescents and normal weight adolescents with regard to body image and Social Physique Anxiety. Also the results showed that a high Sociocultural influence on Weight loss and body change have significant role in the rise of the Social Physique Anxiety. However, it did not have any significant moderating role in the social physique anxiety or the body image problems. Conclusion: According to the results obtained, we can conclude that obesity and high sociocultural influence on Weight Loss and body change are important factors in rising body image problems and Social Physique Anxiety. But sociocultural influence does not modify the role of obesity on the increase or decrease of body image problems and social anxiety.
