Based on the results of the analysis, it shows that 50% of respondents have a high level of body dissatisfaction and 58.8% have low self-esteem. And the research results show a significant relationship between body dissatisfaction and self-esteem with a calculated t value of 2.498 which is greater than the t table of 2.0324 at a significant level of 0.018 (p < 0.05), which means that body dissatisfaction has a significant effect on self-esteem. self.
