The study involved a sample of 385 undergraduate students, ages 18-24 years old, from varying universities within Metro Manila Online and face-to-face administration survey containing measures for positive body image, social comparison, and extraversion were used for data gathering. A multiple regression analysis was used to determine the regression between the variables.
