However a substantial gender difference has been witnessed in influencing BODY SHAME variable. In other words BODY SHAME variable, in addition to BODY INVESTMENT and SELF ESTEEM- as components of SELF OBJECTIFICATION variable- are predicting factors of body satisfaction among women (and not men), illustrating the severe effects of social expectations from ideal body of the females and internalization of them compared to men.
