Abstract

Some individuals may expect the best in their physical appearance. However, some individuals become insecure about their deficiencies or disabilities and try to avoid or cover up any defects or deficiencies in their bodies. Without realizing it, this can be one of the symptomps of body dismorphic. Therefore, it is important for individuals to develop self-compassion. Self-compassion is an action to understand and be kind to yourself and accept yourself during difficult times. This study aims to examine the relationship between self-compasion and body dysmorphic symptoms in early adulthood. This study involved 504 participants (162 male and 342 female) with an age range of 18 – 29 years and used two measuring instruments, The Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) and Appearance Anxiety Inventory (AAI). The measure consists of 10 items for AAI measuring instruments and 26 items for SCS measuring instruments with 4 point Likert Scale. Evidence of the validation of the two measuring instruments is shown by the item-total correlation>0.2. This research uses non-experimental quantitative research methods with correlation research. The data analysis technique used is Spearman Correlation. The result of this study indicate a negative relationship between self-compassion and symptoms of body dysmorphic in early adulthood (r= −0.39 dan p<0.01).
