Modern realities induce a young person to be more often in the position of presenting themself in different contexts (in reality, on the Internet), which affects the problem of a person's attitude to his external appearance and raises the question of strategies for the interaction of a person with the world. Thus, the purpose of our study was to identify the characteristics of girls who are satisfied with their bodies to varying degrees in connection with motives (to achieve success and avoid failure, strive for people and fear of rejection) and self-attitude. We identified two groups: an increased level of body satisfaction (N = 40) and a high level of body satisfaction (N = 49). Girls with an increased and high overall level of body satisfaction differ from each other significantly. For example, in satisfaction with the upper body, torso, lower body and skin. We note that satisfaction with certain parts of the body is associated with motives and self-attitude in girls only if it is at an increased level for them, since satisfaction with the upper part (head) is associated with the aspiration to people, satisfaction with the lower body is inversely correlated with the motive "fear of rejection " and satisfaction with the head and lower body is positively associated with self-understanding. The motivation for success is not only linked, but also influences increased skin satisfaction.
