The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between body satisfaction and different forms of perfectionism and the internalization of sociocultural attitudes towards physical appearance. A total of 414 participants (Nm=106, Nf=308) who were on average 21,56 years old (M=21,56, SD=1,869) and are studying at The University of Zagreb, participated in the research. Participants completed the The Physical Appearance Perfectionism Scale (PAPS; Yang and Stoeber, 2012), Body Satisfaction Scale from Body Image and Body Change Questionnaire (McCabe and Ricciardelli, 2002) and Media Influence Scale from The Perceived Sociocultural Influences on Body Image and Body Change Questionnaire (McCabe and Ricciardelli, 2001). Participants' demographic information, as well as information about faculty and year of study were also collected. Statistically significant gender differences were obtained on the factor Influence of the media on weight loss. Namely, results showed that female students reported a greater perception of the influence of the media on weight loss than male students. On the whole sample, a significant positive correlation was found between body satisfaction and positive perfectionism. On the other hand, body satisfaction is negatively correlated with negative perfectionism, suggesting the importance of distinguishing these two forms of perfectionism. Low but significant negative correlations were found between body satisfaction and the factors Influence of media on weight loss and Influence of media on increasing muscle mass. According to expectations, it has been shown that a significant percentage of the variance in body satisfaction can be explained based on perfectionism and internalization of sociocultural attitudes towards physical appearance (R 2=0,578). Given the relatively small number of studies on this topic within the student population, the results of the research contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between the examined constructs. The practical contribution of this research refers to the possibility of applying the obtained results in the design of psychological preventive and/or intervention programs in working with the student population.
