The present study was conducted to determine the relationship between such variables as of body image, perception of figure and feelings toward it in university students from two institutions (public and private) in terms of sex, institution, career of choice, and self-esteem. Design and Participants. A non-experimental design was used in a sample of 400 university randomly selected who were applied a 20-item instrument.
