College students are an early adulthood age group that is vulnerable to social pressure related to physical appearance, which can affect how they view their own bodies (body image) and how they accept themselves as a whole. Negative body image often contributes to low self-acceptance, which ultimately impacts psychological well-being. Based on this, this study aims to determine the relationship between body image and self-acceptance in students of the University of Muhammadiyah Malang. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational method. Participants in this study were active students of the University of Muhammadiyah Malang who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The measuring instruments used were a body image scale and a self-acceptance scale. The data analysis technique used the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. The results of the analysis showed a correlation coefficient value of r = -0.381 with p <0.001, which indicated a significant negative relationship between body image and self-acceptance. This means that the more negative the body image a student has, the lower their self-acceptance. The relationship found was in the weak to moderate category but statistically significant. These findings can be implemented as a basis for developing psychoeducational programs to improve positive body image and self-acceptance among students.
