Abstract

The article provides a theoretical overview and study of individual determinants of body satisfaction and the empirical results of the study of self-attitude, motives, aggression and guilt as personal determinants of young women’s body satisfaction. Theoretically, it is shown that body satisfaction is a significant phenomenon that interacts with big amount of factors. Most of the research focuses on the relationship between body satisfaction andsocio-­demographic characteristics, influence of environment, lifestyles, media and Internet exposure, diseases, weight, etc, to a lesser extent, research concerns personal characteristics. It is empirically proven that the most important individual determinants of young women’s body satisfaction are components of self-attitude, that is integral self-attitude, self-respect, autosympathy, expected attitudes of others, self-interestand the installation of its own Self: self-confidence, othersattitudes, self-acceptance, self-understanding. Aggressiveness and some forms of aggression became less important determinants: verbal aggression, physical aggression, and irritation–all of these forms imply a willingness to express emotions. The least individual determinant of young women’s body satisfaction is proclivity for moral and ethical installations. Motivation for success, avoidance of failure and desire for acceptance and fear of rejectionhave not been identified as significant individual determinants of body satisfaction.
