However, there is a clear need for a better understanding of the physical and psychological correlates of social physique anxiety and body image dissatisfaction in female athletes. This study aimed to examine the association of the social physique anxiety, body image satisfaction, and personality with the anthropometric measurements in female college athletes according to their sport type using the Co-Plot technique. The sample included 63 female athletes ranging in age from 18 to 26. Results of the Co-Plot analysis revealed a significant association among social physique anxiety, personality and anthropometric measurements. This means that certain physical measurements may lead to greater social physique anxiety and body image dissatisfaction in female athletes. It was found that females having higher levels of social physique anxiety and thus, lower levels of body image satisfaction may be less emotionally stable and more negatively perfectionist. In conclusion, the results of the present study provided evidence to the claim that both physical self-perception and anthropometric measurements may be closely associated with psychological criteria in female athletes.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPublic, environmental & occupational healthAnthropometric measurementsSocial physique anxietyPersonality traitBody image satisfactionPerfectionismSocial physique anxietyBody-image satisfactionNegative perfectionismDissatisfactionAdolescentAdultAnthropometryAnxietyAthletesBody imageExerciseFemaleHumansPerfectionismSelf ConceptSportsStudentsSurveys and questionnairesYoung adultArticle0003938717000092-s2.0-8498844355532533122327644312Public, environmental & occupational healthSelf-Presentation; Body Image; AnxietyAdolescentAdultAnthropometryAnxietyAthleteBody imageExerciseFemaleHumanPerfectionismPsychologyGuestionnaireSelf conceptSportStudentYoung adult
