Adolescent girls commonly experience body image concerns that may influence their psychological well-being, particularly their self-confidence. This study examined the relationship between body image and self-confidence among 12th-grade female students at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri Kota Pasuruan using a quantitative correlational design. Data were collected from 50 students through validated body image and self-confidence scales, and the analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25.0. The findings indicated a significant positive relationship between body image and self-confidence (r = 0.694, p < 0.05), with body image contributing 48.1% to the variance in self-confidence (R² = 0.481). These results suggest that students with more positive perceptions of their physical appearance tend to demonstrate higher levels of self-confidence. While the findings provide meaningful insights into adolescent psychological development within an Islamic school context, the study’s relatively small sample size and single-school setting limit the generalizability of the results. Nevertheless, the study highlights the importance of addressing body-related attitudes in educational environments and offers valuable considerations for educators and counselors aiming to support students’ mental well-being and self-confidence.
