Investigating the Relationship Between Self-Esteem, Body Image Concern, and Self-Compassion in Women With Female Pattern Hair Loss
August 2023
TLDR Women with female pattern hair loss tend to have lower self-esteem and body image concerns, but higher self-esteem is linked to more self-compassion.
The study "Investigating the relationship between self-esteem and body image concern and self-compassion in women with female pattern hair loss" involved 300 women with female pattern hair loss from the Runic Skin and Hair Clinic in Qazvin City. The researchers used the Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSES), body image concern questionnaire (BICI), and self-compassion scale short form (SCS-SF) to collect data. The results indicated a negative and statistically significant relationship between self-esteem and body image concern in these women. Additionally, a positive and statistically significant relationship was found between self-esteem and self-compassion in the same group of women.
