Abstract
This study analyzes a survey (n=60) conducted in the faB of 2000 to examine the level of women's body satisfaction and factors that might influence it. Satisfaction was evaluated on a scale from very satisfied to very unsatisfied. Body satisfaction was then compared to the information the women gave about the number of times they viewed fashion magazines, how often they talked about their bodies, their age, and their race. By comparing this information, conclusions were drawn about what factors influence women's levels of body satisfaction. The most significant conclusions about low body image that were drawn were a high frequency of viewing fashion magazines, the younger the woman was, and her race.
