(Name of Style Manual Used in this Study) The importance of body image dissatisfaction and identity development among women is becoming a significant concern when considering the risk of developing eating disorders. Analysis of the two variables suggests that further research is needed to determine new and effective treatments for body image dissatisfaction and eating disorders. The present study examines the relationship between identity development and body image dissatisfaction in college females. Two scales, the Multidimensional BodySelf Relations Questionnaire—Appearance Scales and the Tennessee Self Concept Scale were administered to 15 participants. Scores for the two instruments were correlated to determine whether a relationship exists between the two constructs with the purpose of possibly developing a new avenue for treatment of body image dissatisfaction.
