Correlates of Appearance Anxiety in Late Adolescence and Early Adulthood among Young Women.

Keelan, J. Patrick R.; And Others

Journal of Adolescence, v15 n2 p193-205 Jun 1992

Findings from female undergraduates (n=106) who completed questionnaires assessing appearance anxiety and childhood and early adolescent experiences suggest that appearance anxiety in women is related to reported negative social experiences in childhood and early adolescence. Appearance anxiety was also found to be related to current social experiences. (Author/NB)
