Abstract

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is increasingly recognized as a significant mental health condition associated with body image dissatisfaction and psychological distress. However, empirical research examining the impact of adverse childhood experiences, particularly among sexual minority populations, remains limited. This study aimed to examine whether childhood sexual abuse and child neglect predict body dysmorphic symptoms among gay men. It was hypothesized that both forms of childhood trauma would significantly contribute to body dysmorphic symptoms. This study employed a quantitative correlational design involving 202 participants recruited through purposive sampling. Standardized psychological instruments were used to assess body dysmorphic symptoms, childhood sexual abuse, and child neglect. Data were analyzed using Spearman correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results indicated that childhood sexual abuse was positively correlated with body dysmorphic symptoms (r = 0.185, p < 0.01), while child neglect showed a stronger correlation (r = 0.379, p < 0.01). Multiple regression analysis further demonstrated that both variables significantly predicted body dysmorphic symptoms (R = 0.460, p < 0.01), accounting for 21.2% of the variance. These findings emphasize the psychological impact of early adverse experiences on body image disturbances and highlight the importance of trauma-informed mental health interventions for sexual minority populations.

Abstract

The increase in cases of self-harm in Indonesia necessitates preventive measures from both the health and education sectors. One such measure is to conduct research on this issue. This study aims to explore the relationship between self-esteem, religiosity, and loneliness among self-harmers. A total of 368 participants were involved in this study, namely self-harmers aged 16 to 38 years old in Indonesia, who were selected as the population using a purposive sampling approach.. Data were collected using loneliness, self-esteem, and religiosity scales adapted into Indonesian. Data analysis using a two-predictor regression test found that the significance value of the p-value was 0.000 (p < 0.01), and the value of Rx1,2y = 0.611 was obtained. The R-squared value of 0.373 indicates that the study contributes an effective 37.3%, thereby confirming that the hypothesis stating there is a significant negative relationship between self-esteem and religiosity with loneliness among self-harm perpetrators is acceptable. This means that the higher the religiosity and self-esteem of an individual, the lower the level of loneliness experienced by self-harmers.
