Abstract


Body image is a central psychological issue during adolescence that can be associated with spiritual dimensions such as religiosity and gratitude. Objective: this study aimed to examine the role of religiosity and gratitude as predictors of body image among Muslim adolescents aged 13–17 years, both partially and simultaneously. Methods: a quantitative, non-experimental study with a multiple regression design and cross-sectional approach was conducted on 300 respondents obtained online (Google Form) after a data-cleaning process. Three scales were tested for validity and reliability in a try-out of 50 subjects: the Religiosity Scale (25 items, α=0.883), the Gratitude Scale (22 items, α=0.866), and the Body Image Scale (18 items, α=0.841). Results: religiosity was a positive and significant predictor of body image (β=0.259; t=3.975; p<0.001), gratitude was also a positive and significant predictor (β=0.490; t=7.517; p<0.001), and both variables simultaneously explained 50.5% of the variance in body image (F=151.433; R²=0.505; p<0.001). Conclusion: given the cross-sectional design, these findings are predictive-correlational rather than causal, but underscore the importance of religiosity and gratitude in relation to more positive body image acceptance among Muslim adolescents, with gratitude showing a relatively larger contribution. This study offers potential practical applications for Islamic values-based counseling programs in schools.
