Abstract

Contemporarily, Chinese college students reduce their satisfaction unconsciously because of the deviation of reality from the ideal with the impact of “standard of beauty”. Specifically, anxiety, low self-esteem and lack of confidence, are the expression of body shame may follow. In this paper, we examine the relationship between body shame and physical activity among Chinese college students oriented towards a higher mental health level. As a result of our research, we found that body shame negatively affects physical activity, and that physical activity reduces people’s body shame. Through this study, we hope to gain a better understanding of the relationship between body shame and physical activity among university students.
