Abstract

Current-focused detection education Adolescent self-compassion and physical deformity symptoms, and demographic inequalities. The sample included N=293 teenagers. Study goals were met using the self-compassion measure. (Neff et al., 2021) The External Appearance Anxiety Scale (Park, 2007) and external rejection sensitivity meter (Roberts et al., 2018). The study demonstrated a positive link between self-compassion and sensitivity to appearance-based rejection (R=0.345) and anxiety about outward appearance (R=0.553). Teens with physical abnormalities had an average arithmetic mean of 3.26 self-compassion. Two sections rated very high, four scored about average, and outward appearance concern had an arithmetic mean of 2.63. It was also found that there was a statistically significant difference at the level of statistical significance (α = 0.05) according to the gender variable on the scale of rejection sensitivity due to appearance, and there were no differences on the rest of the scales, and there was no difference on anxiety about external appearance according to the school level variable, and there were no differences on the rest of the scales, and there were differences on self-compassion and anxiety about external appearance, and there were no differences on the rejection sensitivity scale due to appearance attributed to the weight variable, and there was a difference in empathy with Self and there are no differences on the rest of the scales according to the variable "Have you performed an operation," and it was found that the differences in the gender variable came in favor of males compared to females, while the differences in weight came between the category "my weight is commensurate with my height and I have excess weight by more than 20%" and the category "my weight is proportional to my height" and the differences were in favor of the first category, and with regard to the variable differences according to the order between my brothers and sisters, the dimensional comparisons show that there are differences between the first or second category and between The latter category and in favor of the first and second, and finally it was found that there is a statistically significant contribution at the level of significance (a = .05) for the variables of the study These characteristics account for 4% of self-compassion variance, but they predict plastic surgery exposure greatest, current weight second, and gender least.
