| Summary: | This study explored the relationship between body image and dimensions of self-confidence among female sports students at University of Setif 2. Using a descriptive correlational approach, this study utilized a sample of 88 female students specializing in Physical Education and sports sciences. Data were collected using a body image scale and a self-confidence dimensions scale. Statistical analysis was conducted using the SPSS V 26 software. The results revealed strong and statistically significant positive correlations between body image and linguistic fluency, independence, and physiological and psychological dimensions. These findings underscore the importance of positive body image in enhancing various aspects of self-confidence among female sports students. Based on these results, it is recommended that universities implement programs to promote positive body image and self-confidence among sports students, incorporate media literacy education to counter negative influences, and provide targeted support for students struggling with body image issues.
