Natalia Wójcik
Abstract
Aim: The aim of the study was to examine the relationships between body image and sexual satisfaction, and between body image and life satisfaction.
Material and method: The statistical analysis included 457 people aged 18 to 40 years (M = 24.54; SD = 5.23). The study was conducted online. The assessment tools included the Body Esteem Scale (BES) (body image), the Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire (sexual satisfaction), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) (life satisfaction).
Results: The study found a moderate correlation between sexual satisfaction and the body image, and between body image and life satisfaction.
Conclusions: Both in men and women, satisfaction with individual parts of the body is related to the feeling of sexual satisfaction. A positive body image indicates a high level of life satisfaction regardless of gender.
