The Influence of Gratitude on Body Image Among Male Adolescents
Abstract
Adolescence is one of the important periods in human life. During this period, adolescents experience various changes, including physical changes. These physical changes can have an impact on the adolescent’s perspective of the body, known as body image. Body image is related to gratitude. This study aimed to examine the impact of gratitude on body image in male adolescents. A correlational quantitative research method was used. The study sample consisted of 314 males aged 12-21 years old who were living in Malang City. The research instruments consisted of a gratitude scale and a body image scale made by the researchers. Data validity was examined by three psychologists and item difference tests. Data reliability was calculated using Cronbach’s Alpha formula with a coefficient of 0.9. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression analysis. The results showed that gratitude had a significantly positive influence on body image. Male adolescents should be supported to understand the importance of gratitude so as to minimize the occurrence of negative body image.
