Answer to Question 1

 Body image  perception of one's physical appearance
 Body satisfaction  degree to which an individual is happy or comfortable with their physical appearance
 Body dissatisfaction  degree to which an individual is unhappy or uncomfortable with their physical appearance

 Body satisfaction varies by gender, age, and culture
