Statistical collections of the study data showed the following results:

1. The degree of female students body image assessment was medium. This

means that most female students had a medium estimate of their bodies.

2. There was a statistically significant positive correlation at the level of

(a=0.05) between the body image assessment and self acceptance.

3. There was no statistically significant difference at (a=0.05)in the strength

of correlative relationship that could be attributed to the impact of

instructional level between body image assessment and self- acceptance.

4. There was a statistically significant difference at (a = 0.05) in the strength

of correlative relationship between body image assessment and selfacceptance

that could be attributed to the impact of income in regard to

medium income and high income .The differences were to the advantage
