Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of bibliotherapy in reducing body image dissatisfaction among high school girls. Participants were 45 girls from three different high schools, whose BMI were normal (18.5 -22.9) and experienced moderate to very high body image dissatisfaction. Using pretest-posttest control group design, participants from each high school were assigned to one of three conditions: interactive or reading bibliotherapy as experimental conditions or as waiting-list control group. Body image dissatisfaction of each participant was measured at pre-treatment, post-treatment, and !-month follow-up and analyzed using One-Way ANOVA and General Linear Model-Univariate. The result of this study showed that either interactive (sig.= 0.000 < 0.05) or reading bibliotherapy (sig.= 0.012 < 0.05) was effective in reducing body image dissatisfaction among high school girls and their effectiveness were maintained until 1-month follow-up.
