Over 60% of young people have reported negative feelings related to one’s own body perception. With the increased presence of filtered photos and curated algorithms, the line between self-perception and physical reality may be blurred. Self-perception is the process in which a person observes themselves by interpreting their own behaviors, thoughts, and feelings; while the Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry is a non-invasive medical test that provides highly accurate measurements of body composition. This study examined the association between one’s body image perception and one's body composition measures (percent body fat). Methods: 19 college adults aged [ m=22.21 + sd=3.54; Females 57.89%] participated. The study consisted of 2 sessions, 1-wk apart. Session 1: included intake survey (demographics, inclusion criterion) and a standardized body-image perception survey [MBSRQ] and Session 2: DEXA body composition analysis was administered. Results: A Pearson’s Product Correlational Analysis will be administered to evaluate the association between body-image perception and body fat percentage. Significance will be set at a p-value equal to .05. Discussion: Based on current literature it is anticipated that the findings may suggest that an individual’s actual percentage of body fat does not support one’s body image perception. It is important to build on future research and better understanding how one’s body image perception may also relate to social media usage.
