The Influence of Self Esteem and Body Image on the Mental Wellbeing of University of Ghana Students Eunice Opoku Asanoh<p>This study was aimed at assessing the influence of body image and self-esteem on the mental well-being of students at the University of Ghana. Responses were collected from a total of 80 students. Results of the study indicate that there existed a very weak negative correlation between self-esteem and body image showing that there is not enough evidence to conclude that self-esteem is a good predictor of body image. Also, there existed a positive correlation between body image and mental health, however, the analysis was found to be insignificant. Therefore, there is not enough proof to conclude that body image will have a positive relationship with mental health. Studies also revealed a strong positive correlation between self-esteem and mental health, but it was found to be insignificant. As a result, there is not enough proof to conclude that self-esteem is a good predictor of mental health.</p> Annals of Psychiatry and Treatment - Peertechz Publications 2024-10-15 Research Article https://doi.org/10.17352/apt.000062 en Copyright © Eunice Opoku Asanoh et al.
