Statistical Analysis: SPSS (Statistics Program for Social Sciences) 26.0 will be used for statistical analysis. The suitability of the data to the normal distribution will be evaluated with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test.

Chi-square analysis will be used to compare categorical variables. The data of the 3 groups will be compared statistically. If the data has a normal distribution, parametric tests will be preferred, and if the data is not normally distributed, nonparametric tests will be preferred. In all statistical analyses, p\<0.05 or 95% confidence interval will be accepted as the level of significance.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire -4-Revised (SATAQ-4R) | 1 month, June 2023- July2023 | The SATAQ-4R created by Schaefer, Harriger et al., consists of 31 items and seven sub-parameters: body fat, muscle level, general attractiveness, peers, family, others, and media (2). |
| Physical Appearance Comparison Scale-Revised (PACS-R) | 1 month, June 2023- July2023 | It was developed to measure a person's tendencies to compare their physical appearance with the physical appearance of others. The survey consists of 11 questions. It includes questions that assess whether it compares body shape, body weight, and body fat in social settings, such as at the gym, at work, or at school (3). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile Health, Exercise Preferances and Social Media Questionnaire | 1 month, June 2023- July2023 | The attitudes of the participants towards mobile health applications and their social media usage habits will be evaluated with the Mobile Health and Social Media Usage questionnaire created by the researchers. The survey will question the frequency of use of social media, purposes of use, platforms, the mobile application used, frequency of use and purposes of use. Participants' attitudes towards their exercise preferences will be evaluated with the Exercise Preferences questionnaire, and their regular exercise habits, preferred exercise type, environment and method will be questioned. |
| International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (Short) | 1 month, June 2023- July2023 | International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (Short) is a 7-item scale that evaluates the duration and frequency of vigorous physical activity, moderate physical activity, walking and sedentary behavior based on MET values (4). |
| Body-Cathexis Scale (BCS) | 1 month, June 2023- July2023 | The scale consists of 40 items, each of which is related to an organ or a part of the body or its function. Items are scored between 1-5. While the most positive statement receives one point and the most negative statement receives five points, the lowest total score that can be obtained from the scale, which has an answer option such as I like it very much, I like it very much, I am undecided, I don't like it very much, I don't like it at all, is 40, and the highest is 40. The total score is 200. An increase in the total score obtained from the scale means an increase in negative evaluation, while a decrease in the score indicates positive evaluation (5). |
