Abstract
This study aimed to examine the relationship between body weights, sexual objectification, and body appreciation on self-esteem, simultaneously to identify the most significant factor to self-esteem among undergraduate female students in University Malaysia Sarawak. A total of 300 undergraduate female students participated in the online survey by answering instruments on weight stigmatization, interpersonal sexual objectification, body appreciation as well as self -esteem assessment. Finding have shown that samples experience weight stigmatization regardless of weight and size. Bivariate correlations have indicated that the variables have been significantly related to self-esteem among these female students. Multiple regression has shown that body appreciation is a significant factor on self-esteem among undergraduate female students at University Malaysia Sarawak. This finding convinced institutional educators and counselors to use body appreciation as a method to improve students’ overall well-being. If further studies are to be implemented, this finding suggested that cultural differences may have important implications for their self-esteem and perspectives on sexual objectification.
