ABSTRACT: This study is about proving the existence of Body Dysmorphic Disorder among sports enthusiasts and to strengthen or weaken some theory that supports the presumption that those who indulge their selves to sports are suffering from this disorder and it affects their performance as athletes or merely sportsmen. This study aimed to find a way to treat a person with Body Dysmorphic Disorder or BDD. Also, this work would like to reveal incidence of Body Dysmorphic Disorder among Sports Enthusiasts that might serve as a basis for an intervention program. Specifically, this research intended to answer the profile of the subjects according to educational attainment, occupation, years of training, age, civil status, sex and sports involvement. Also, it aims to identify the level of Body Dysmorphic Disorder of the respondents and the level of Sports Personality of the respondents. If there is a significant difference between the level of BDD-YBOCS (Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale Modified for Body Dysmorphic Disorder) among respondents when grouped according to their profile, if there is a significant difference between the level of SPQ20 (Sports Personality Questionnaire Factor 20) of the respondents when grouped according to their profile, if there is a significant relationship between the level of BDD-YBOCS (Yale Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale Modified for Body Dysmorphic Disorder) and level of SPQ20 (Sports Personality Questionnaire Factor 20)and what is the best intervention that is applicable for the 100 martial arts practitioners and sports enthusiasts of any endeavors within the City of San Pedro, Laguna. The researcher will submit permission letter to fitness centers and martial arts schools and will conduct a survey to classify them according to their profile. Conduct the Sports Personality Inventory Questionnaire and measure the intensity or severity of body dysmorphic disorder among Martial Artists and Sports Enthusiasts using the BDD-YBOCS questionnaire. Test results showed no significant difference among the subjects when it comes to their level of body dysmorphic disorder. It was observed that during the test, the respondents are reluctant to give their honest opinions and answers because the test questions appear to be disturbing in a way that they will look like there is something wrong with them if they answer each items with sincerity. Furthermore, the tests questions were too deep to be understood by undergraduate respondents and that might cause them to answer the test with recklessness and inattention. The researcher would want to recommend revision of the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale Modified for Body Dysmorphic Disorder to come up with a more reliable and valid results for future research and exploration to the matter of Body Dysmorphic Disorder.
