Analysis of Food Choices Based on Health Factors, Comparison of Physical Appearance and Life Satisfaction in Adolescents
đ Abstract
Â
Introduction: Food is a basic human need. Eating healthy food can positively affect health, and Healthy individuals can feel life satisfaction. Unfortunately, adolescents now tend to eat unhealthy foods. This study examines the relationship between food choice motives based on health factors, physical appearance comparison, and adolescent life satisfaction. Method: This research uses a quantitative research method with a correlational research design. There are three scales used in this study: The Physical Appearance Comparison Scale-Revised (PACS-R), the Food Choice Questionnaire (FCQ), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Five hundred seventy-nine adolescents aged 17-22 participated as research participants, conducting data analysis through product-moment correlation using SPSS 25.0. Result: The results of this study indicate that food choice based on health factors is not related to physical appearance comparison (r = -0.068; p> 0.05) but is positively related to life satisfaction in adolescents (r = 0.191; p <0.05), which means that the higher adolescents choose food with health considerations, the higher their life satisfaction, and tend not to compare their physical appearance with other people. In addition, this study also found a negative relationship between physical appearance comparison and life satisfaction (r=-0.358; p<0.05), which means that the higher the adolescent compares his physical appearance with others, the lower his life satisfaction, and vice versa.
