Özet:

The aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between self-consciousness and body satisfaction/consciousness and body mass index (BMI) in female university students and to reveal whether self-consciousness differs in terms of age (19-24 and 25-30), parent attitude (autoritary, protective, democratic, incoherent), BMI (weak, normal, overweight) and body perception/consciousness (low and high). The research participants in Turkey are 443 women between the ages of 19 and 30 who continue to study at the bachelor/graduate/doctoral level and voluntarily participate in the research via the internet. The data is collected via the Internet through Google Forms. Data analysis used Pearson correlation analysis, independent groups t-test and one-way variance analysis. The findings have shown that there is a positive and statistically meaningful relationship between self-consciousness and body perception/satisfaction; however, there is a negative relationship between self-consciousness and BCI but not statistically meaningful. Inter-group analyses show that self-consciousness varies statistically significantly depending on the parent’s attitude and the level of body perception/satisfaction, but there is no statistically significant differentiation in terms of age and BMI. The findings have been discussed in the light of the current scope and have been presented with recommendations for research and implementation to be carried out in the future.
