摘要：The present study of Body Image Perceptions and its Correlation with Self Esteem of adolescents studying in engineering colleges of Hyderabad was made to know the relationship between Body Image Perceptions (skin complexion, facial features, blemish free skin, height, weight, etc.) and Self Esteem of adolescents. About 200 adolescents (100 boys and 100 girls) ranging from age group of 18 to 20 years were selected from engineering colleges of Hyderabad and Secunderabad regions of Telangana state. Body Image Perception scale and Rosenberg’s Self Esteem scale were used to collect data and simple Pearson correlation was applied for selected population. The present study contributes to an emerging understanding of underlying relation between body image and self esteem. The findings reveal how the Self esteem is positively correlated with self assessment and perpetually inclined towards the overall assessment of Body Image Perceptions at 1% level of significance. The results presented will reveal the facts of effective correlation between the two considered variables of study.
