Item El Body Shaming y la Adaptación Social en estudiantes universitarios(Universidad Tècnica de Ambato, Facultad de Jurisprudencia y Ciencias Sociales, Carrera de Trabajo Social, 2024-08) Núñez Barzola, Johanna Aracelly; Martínez Bonilla, Carlos AlbertoThe student dropout rate in universities and the low persistence rates, particularly in the first year of study, have led to questioning the various factors that influence the transition of students to this new context. As a result, it has been established that body shaming is an emerging factor in the adaptive process, which has not been adequately studied, especially for young university students. Therefore, the influence of body shaming on university adaptation was examined in order to serve as a starting point for the development of intervention strategies that facilitate a successful transition to professional life. The objective of this research was to examine the influence of body shaming on university adaptation through the development of a research instrument (questionnaire) that allowed for the evaluation of the interrelationship between the study variables. The analyzed sample consisted of 177 students from the Early Childhood Education program at the Universidad Técnica de Ambato. It was based on a mixed approach and two data collection instruments were used: a teacher interview related to social adaptation to the university environment and a questionnaire to explore students' perceptions of body shaming and its possible relationship with university adaptation. The main results reflect that within the factors of the adaptive process are social interaction, academic performance, integration into university life, sociocultural adaptation, and social support. The research instrument met the proposed objective and allowed for determining that young university students who experience body shaming perceive this phenomenon with anxiety, feelings of shame, low self-esteem, and anxiety related to body image. Therefore, the mentioned indicators can trigger disorders and limit the social adaptation of the university student. It significantly affects academic performance and social interaction, concluding that body shaming influences university adaptation.
