Abstract
The objective of this research is to explore the relationship between Physical Appearance Comparison and Life Satisfaction among Young Adults. Comparison is often called a ‘thief of joy’, and appearance-related comparison has shown aversive effects. The quality of life becomes significantly influenced by the perception of one’s appearance. This research used a quantitative, correlational survey design with 503 participants aged 18 to 40 years. The key instruments included: Informed Consent Form, Demographic Form, Physical Appearance Comparison Scale 3 (Schaefer & Thompson, 2018; α = 0.85), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (Diener et al., 1985; α = 0.82). It was hypothesized that there would be a significant relationship between Physical Appearance Comparison and Life Satisfaction among young adults. The results indicated a significant inverse relationship between the two variables, supporting the hypothesis. The research implies that awareness of these variables highlights the need for positive, multi-level interventions to reduce appearance comparisons and promote life satisfaction.
