This study seeks to compare the correlations between perceived physical appearance, self-esteem, and depression in American and Iranian women through a quantitative analysis. The importance of this study is significant as Iranian immigrants may be in a disadvantage, or more at-risk, for mood- or eating-disorders, compared to the general American population. In addition, as Southern California boasts the largest concentration of Iranians in the world outside of Iran, the clinical implications of this study have important ramifications as clinicians are likely already treating Iranian immigrants, or first generation Iranian-Americans, and may gain further insight into the cultural impact shaping body modification behaviors have among such population. The results of the study concluded that both the Iranian and American group do not have statistically significant differences in the way they responded to the measures. As such, the groups share similarities in the way in which they perceive the importance of physical appearance and their views of self-esteem. Furthermore, correlation analyses between the measures revealed results of moderately high to very-high correlation coefficients and thus shedding light on how important physical appearance is to both groups. The results however, revealed that the correlation difference between physical appearance and self-esteem among Iranian women compared to American women was not statistically significant. Although these results nulled the author's hypothesis, the study revealed that scores failed the critical values by small amounts. Therefore, possible causes, such as group size and average ages, may be a factor leading to the results nulling the hypothesis. Consequently, larger samples of similarly aged women from both cultures may provide different results supporting the author's hypothesis.
