My latest article, How Your Personality Affects Your Body Image, is a bit of a disappointment to me! I couldn't find solid evidence that personality does affect body image -- check it out at BellaOnline ALERT: Raw URLs are not allowed in these forums for security reasons. Please use UBB code.

heya,
i am a undergraduate and was looking around for research topics and the question of whether personality can affect body image sounds very interesting. May I ask what indirect sources have you found?

The only thing I could find was that people with poor body image have the "negative" personality traits I listed. Psychosomaticmedicine.org provided some information - that was pretty much all I could find. It's a fascinating topic, but it doesn't seem to be terribly well-researched - or documented - yet.

Have you found anything else?

You could try the body image topics on various psychology sites, like American Psych Association and Mental Health Net.

Good luck - let me know how it goes!

Our body image is part of our personality. Am I right?

Not me. I always have found that weird since I am either always depressed or insulting myself if it's not both and for some strange reason I have never insulted or felt depressed due to how I look. I do find myself ugly but it does not affect me at all and I have never looked at myself in disgust.
