concern Scale (2005), and the 18-item short form of the Ryff Psychological Well-being Scale
(2002).
Results: The findings obtained from Pearson correlation indicated a significant negative
relationship between social anxiety and psychological well-being (R=-0.280, P=0.024), as well as
a significant negative relationship between body image concern and psychological well-being (R=-
0.483, P=0.001). Furthermore, there was a significant positive relationship between social anxiety
and body image (R=-0.490, P=0.001).
