Female (n = 183) and male (n = 103) college students completed a packet of questionnaires. Data were analyzed using canonical correlation analyses and revealed significant relationships between the sets of variables. Specifically, the variance explained by muscle dysmorphia symptoms in self-concept and negative affect variables was greater than the variance explained in muscle dysmorphia symptoms by self-concept and negative affect. Perceived body attractiveness and social physique anxiety were the individual variables that predominantly contributed to the multivariate relationships.</p>  uhttps://liberalarts.oregonstate.edu/biblio/muscle-dysmorphia-symptoms-and-their-relationships-self-concept-and-negative-affect-among-college-recreational-exercisers-0
