Abstract


Abstract. The purpose of this study was to determine how the subjects responded to the body shaming treatment they experienced. The research method used is descriptive quantitative. The data was collected by means of a survey in the form of a questionnaire about adolescent attitudes towards body shaming treatment which was analyzed quantitatively with the percentage technique. The research subjects were 28 students who were willing to take part in the research. The results showed that the subject's attitude towards body shaming included components of cognition, affection, and conation. In the Cognition component, 75% realized that sometimes they received body shaming treatment. 57.1% of subjects knew that the type of body shaming they experienced tended to be body weight. Furthermore, in the affection component it is known that 64% of the subjects felt afraid, 21% felt insecure, and 15% rejected feelings of being threatened by accepting casually. Then the behavioral tendency (the conation component) shows that 57% of the subjects tend to choose to remain silent when receiving body shaming treatment. Thus, it can be concluded that psychoeducation can increase the subject's knowledge regarding body shaming, but is less able to form assertive behavior on the subject in protecting themselves from body shaming.
