“…Appearance schemas are cognitive structures that people form to process self-related information about their physical appearance (Cash et al, 2003). Research provides evidence that body dissatisfaction is an invasive issue with many negative consequences and problems, such as, but not limited to negative self-schemas (Winterowd et al, 2004), eating disorders (Hargreaves & Tiggeman, 2002), low self-esteem (Ornolfsdottir, 2011), negative appearance schemas (Cash et al, 2003), and increased activation of anger (Hargreaves & Tiggemann, 2002). Of particular significance to this study is how body image dissatisfaction and appearance schemas are related to increase of anger and decrease of self-esteem among young women.…”

Value Lang Edit The main aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between indirect aggression, appearance schemas and self-esteem among university women in Lebanon. Participants were 130 female university women in Lebanon aged between 18 and 34 years who completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Appearance Schema Inventory-Revised, the Indirect Aggression Scale-Aggressor Version and a demographic survey. A significant positive relationship was found between self-esteem and indirect aggressive behaviours. Another significant positive relationship was found between indirect aggression and appearance schemas, however no relationship was found between self-esteem and appearance schemas. Further analysis concluded a significant negative correlation between appearance schemas and age, and a significant positive relationship between appearance schemas and “time needed to get ready.” The results of this study contribute to a new understanding of when women use indirect aggression in their social groups, and how it is linked to positive qualities such as popularity and social status.
