LDS females endorsed greater investment in appearance, greater beliefs that positive feelings, self-worth, and interpersonal and work successes are dependence on appearance, more positive feelings toward their bodies, and more satisfaction with their bodies and body shape than non-LDS females. Non-LDS females endorsed greater preoccupation with being overweight and more negative feelings about the body than LDS females.
