Abstract
There has been a gap in research that studies the correlation between relationship quality and a person’s satisfaction with their body. This current analysis is seeking to answer the question "How strongly related are romantic relationship quality and body self-esteem?" This meta-analysis searched PsycInfo and collected 14 studies based in Western cultures such as Western European countries and the United States that researched romantic or intimate relationships and a person’s body satisfaction or body image. We coded for age, gender, and location. From these studies, the results suggested a weak positive correlation (r = 0.16) between the variables.
