Furthermore, the body image scale is based on aspects according to (Cash Pruzinsky, 2002) namely: evaluation of appearance, appearance orientation, satisfaction with body parts, anxiety about being fat, categorization of body parts. Based on the results of the analysis using the Product Moment correlation analysis method. The results showed that there was a positive relationship between family support and body image, where rxy = 0.679 with a significant p = 0.000 0.050. This means that the proposed hypothesis is accepted. The coefficient of determinant (r2) of 0.460 indicates that family support contributes to body image by 46%. Based on the results of the calculation of the hypothetical and empirical mean values, it can be concluded that family support is low with a hypothetical mean value of 55 and an empirical mean of 43.39. Furthermore, it can be concluded that body image is classified as negative with a hypothetical value of 85 and an empirical value of 68.00.
