Abstract

The present study on gender differences on body image perceptions of tribal adolescents was conducted in and around Adilabad district of Telangana state. Ex post- facto design was adapted with a sample of 180 adolescents. Tribal adolescents from tribal schools and tribal colleges were selected as the sample of the study. The study aims to find out the gender differences regarding the perceptions of body image among tribal adolescents regarding their physical attributes. The significant results of the study showed that tribal adolescent girls expressed high positive perceptions towards body image and satisfied with their physical attributes with fewer regrets when compared to that of boys. Whereas boys had high regrets with low positive perceptions towards their body image and took efforts to maintain healthy body image significantly more than girls. There were no significant gender differences in the usage of cosmetics and accessories for good looking.
