11. Summary of the findings of the thesis: The research was actioned on 482 high-school students in two provinces (Hanoi and Vinh Phuc) for self-assessment on body images of high school students. We used 3 main scales to conduct the survey: Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionaire – Appearance Scale (MBSRQ-AS), Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionaire – 4 (SATAQ-4) and Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). The outcomes of the research showed that there’re differences in appearance orientation, overweighted-concerning and self-assessment of body weight between male and female. Students’ orientation and evaluation of appearance were average. The internalization of a thin/low-fat body affects body image self-orientation, especially in female students, and the internalization of a muscular/toned appearance affects the satisfaction of body parts, especially in male students. Pressure from family, friends, and media influence are factors aspect of self-evaluation of body image. Peer pressure predicts a decrease in students' appearance evaluation and body satisfaction, while on the contrary it increases students' concerns about being overweight and increases their body-weight self-assessment. Pressure from families is expected to increase concerns about being overweight among students. In this research, we did not find a prediction of the results of media influence on appearance affecting self-assessment of body image among students. Most aspects of self-assessed body image were statistically significantly positively correlated with life satisfaction. Specifically, appearance orientation, appearance evaluation, and satisfaction with body parts have a statistically significant positive correlation with life satisfaction.
 Overall, the outcomes of the research filled the gaps in the theoretical basis for the concepts of the topic and are the basis for us to make recommendations for families, educational institutions and society.
