Abstract The present study examined body image and behaviour patterns among male and female participants. A total of 120 participants were selected using random sampling, comprising 60 males and 60 females. Each gender group included 30 married and 30 unmarried participants. A 2 × 2 factorial research design was employed. Body image was assessed using the Body Image Questionnaire developed by Dhani and Bahumani (2018), which consists of 28 items and was translated into Gujarati by Jogsan and Doshi. Behaviour patterns were measured using the Behaviour Pattern Scale developed by Dhar and Jain, with the Gujarati adaptation also carried out by Jogsan and Doshi. This instrument contains 33 items, including 17 items in Part A (Type A behaviour pattern) and 16 items in Part B (Type B behaviour pattern). Data were analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson’s product–moment correlation coefficient. The results indicated a significant main effect of gender on body image, F(1, 116) = 9.02, p < .01. Additionally, significant main effects of gender, F(1, 116) = 10.95, p < .01, and marital status, F(1, 116) = 10.77, p < .01, were found for Type A behaviour pattern. However, no significant main effects of gender or marital status were observed for Type B behaviour pattern, while positive correlation was observed.
