Abstract

Development of positive relationship between a woman and her body is a worldwide issue. Striving for achievement of the perfect body, female individuals tend to experience issues related to a negative body image. It was hypothesized that participants regularly engaging in pole and twerk will score higher on self-body image (SBI) and sexual self-esteem (SSE) than the ones exercising ballet and street dance. Regarding quantitative data collection, The Body Appreciation Scale (the BAS) was administered to measure self-body image and sexual self-esteem was measured with The Sexual Self-Esteem Inventory for Women (SSEI-W). Moreover, the findings showed the positive correlation between self-body image and sexual self-esteem; r=.55, p=.000. There was not found any statistically significant relationship between the dance types when tested for self-body image and sexual self-esteem. Both qualitative and quantitative part of the research showed that some of the non-significant differences between the dance types may be substantially meaningful and thus contributing to the importance of future research.
