| Research Abstract |
Body dysmorphic concern was defined as an intense concern and a preoccupation with their perceived appearance flaws, excessive checking and camouflaging of them, and social avoidance and reassurance seeking. The aim of this study was to investigate developmental changes of body dysmorphic concern across the life-span. The results revealed that as follows: (1) factor structure of body dysmorphic concern was common in all ages, (2) there were some differences between ages and sexes about body parts with high dysmorphic concern, (3) applications of cognitive-behavioral model of body dysmorphic concern for adolescence to various generations left room for consideration.
