Abstract
The article features the problem of the study of body image among women in different age periods; it gives characteristic of level and structural differences between the groups of women in their early and middle adulthood. It is theoretically proved that the body image is largely determined by beliefs, perceptions about oneself and one’s “I” than by actual physical reality. The article establishes age variability of body image in women during early and middle adulthood. It was determined that women in their early adulthood assess their body more according to external evaluations.
