Introduction: The aim of the present study was to investigate the structural relationships between body image and dating anxiety in adolescents with acne vulgaris with the mediating role of self-compassion and interpersonal cognitive distortion.
Methods: The present research method was applied in terms of purpose and was conducted using the structural equation modeling method. The statistical population of the study included all individuals referring to the skin clinic of ValiAsr and Razi hospitals in Ghaemshahr at 2023. Considering the volume obtained from the G*Power software, the sample size of 100 individuals was selected non-randomly and purposively from among individuals with acne vulgaris. The data collection tools included the Souto and Garcia Body Image Questionnaire (2002), the Neff Self-Compassion Questionnaire (2003), the Hamamci C Interpersonal Cognitive Distortion Questionnaire (2004), and the Glickman and La greca Adolescent Dating Anxiety (2004). Data analysis was also performed using SPSS version 26 and PLS version 4.
Results: The results of this study, the proposed model has an acceptable fit. In general, in the proposed model of the study, the results showed that body image is related to dating anxiety both directly and indirectly through self-compassion and interpersonal cognitive distortion.
