<![CDATA[This study aims to describe the level of positive body image among senior high school students in one of the public high schools in Karawang Regency and to identify its implications for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) counseling services. The research employed a quantitative approach with a survey design. Convenience sampling was used to select 140 senior high school students as participants. Data were collected using the Positive Body Image among Adolescents Scale (PBIAS), which had been adapted into Indonesian following the Beaton adaptation procedure.The results revealed that 69% (96 students) exhibited a positive body image, consisting of 57 female and 39 male students. Meanwhile, 31% (44 students) experienced a negative body image, with 27 females and 17 males. These findings highlight the importance of systematic efforts to foster positive body image among adolescents. One effective intervention is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which utilizes six core processes: acceptance, cognitive defusion, self as context, being present, values, and committed action, that work integratively to promote a healthy and adaptive body image. These processes can be applied in school counseling services to support students in developing positive body image.]]>
