To assemble the research results as of now, it would appear that self-image and ideal images as recognized by women have been very different. In particular, the women could not recognize an ideal regarding a family-oriented image and a sensual image. Also, regarding the groups, the higher the self-image was compared to the ideal image, the psychological feeling of wellbeing appeared higher. Self-image had a positive influence on ideal image.
