Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: Body image concern in male individuals is a relatively new focus of research among scientists. Research on this topic was first centered on muscularity, but recent studies also explored drive for thinness among male individuals. This study investigated on the body satisfaction of N=345 (age 18-23) male college students from a local university in Manila, the possible factors which may play a role in the development of body dissatisfaction, and how drive for muscularity and drive for thinness is related to such dissatisfaction. Results suggests that Filipino male college students are relatively satisfied with their bodies. Gender orientation/identify may predict dissatisfaction, but does not present significant difference between bisexuals, gays, and heterosexuals. Involvement in physical activities does not relate to body dissatisfaction, instead factors such as lack of time or health concerns causes the variation in frequency of the students physical activities. Media has stronger influence in body dissatisfaction as compared with family and peers. Drive for muscularity appears to be more common among those who have no concern in their body than those with marked concerns. However, gender orientation/identity may influence which drive an individual has. In lieu of these results, this study purposes that in dealing with male body image concerns such factors should be considered when tailoring a treatment plan. Other editions:
