Abstract

Body anxiety is a hot topic with the rise of consumerism and feminism. This paper mainly discusses the main factors causing body image anxiety of contemporary college students, especially the Generation Z. Through the questionnaire survey, 279 valid samples were obtained in this study. After the normality test, correlation analysis and regression analysis of these data samples, this paper found that personal self-awareness had the most significant impact on body image anxiety. The weaker the sense of self-identity, the weaker the sense of belonging, and the more serious the body image anxiety. Previous studies usually emphasized the effects of family, peer pressure, love relationship and social media on physical anxiety, but the results of this study found that their effects on body image anxiety were not very significant. Limited to the sample size of the questionnaire, the conclusions drawn in this paper may have some limitations. However, this conclusion can still provide a new discussion space for the study of body anxiety.
