| dc.description.abstract | The ideals of beauty and appearance imposed by today’s popular society are becoming increasingly important in all stages of life. Correspondingly, research on the concepts of self-objectification, appearance anxiety, body image, and well-being has increased in recent years. Hence, this study aims to investigate whether social appearance anxiety and body image mediate the relation between self-objectification and subjective well-being in a Turkish sample. The study included 480 participants between the ages of 18 and 30. Participants were assessed using measurement tools for self-objectification, social appearance anxiety, body image, and subjective well-being. According to the serial mediation analysis, self-objectification had a negative effect on subjective well-being that was statistically significant. Additionally, it was concluded that social appearance anxiety and body image play a mediating role in the relationship between self-objectification and subjective well-being. It can be argued that the results obtained have both theoretical and practical importance for the related literature. | |
