The purpose of this empirical investigation was to determine the predictable relationship between body type factors, socio-demographic factors, attitudes toward body factors, and the self-esteem scores of undergraduate college students. More specifically, the study was concerned with the predictability of body types, socio-demographics, and attitudes toward body factors of body image, body appreciation, gender, age, physical attractiveness, and satisfaction with physical features of the body on the self-esteem scores among undergraduate college students.A simultaneous multiple regression statistical design was used in this empirical study. The population for this empirical study consists of undergraduate college students enrolled in an urban university located in the fourth largest city in the United States. This university is a Historically Black College and University (HBCU) with a current student clientele of over 9700 undergraduate and graduate students. The sample consisted of 160 undergraduate college students from the College of Liberal Arts and Social Work enrolled in an urban university located in the southern region of the United States. There were five instruments used to collect data for the present investigation. They are the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, the physical attraction scale (short version), body appreciation scale (BAS-2), the body esteem scale, and the demographic profile sheet. Two parametric procedures were used to test the three hypotheses Simultaneous Multiple Correlation procedure and Simultaneous Multiple Regression technique. All three hypotheses were tested for a relationship and predictability between three sets of independent (predictor) variables and a criterion (dependent) variable. All three hypotheses were found to be non-significant at the 0.05 level. From the results, this study concludes that any attempt to predict the self-esteem of undergraduate college students attending a Historically Black College and University should not take into account socio-demographic factors such as gender and age. Furthermore, body type factors such as body image and body appreciation should not be included in a regression model employed to predict the self-esteem of undergraduate students attending a Historically Black College and University.
