The purpose of the present study was to compare the perception of current (CBI), ideal (IBI), social body images (SBI), and body dissatisfaction (BD) by gender in Mexican primary and secondary school students. A total sample of 1,146 participants (550 girls and 596 boys) aged 11-16 participated in the study. All participants completed the Mexican computerized adaptation of the Contour Drawing Rating Scale. Results of one-way multivariate analysis of variance, followed by one-way univariate analyses of variance, showed that girls (ABI = 4.26; IBI = 3.53; SBI = 4.28; BD = 0.89) expressed a greater discrepancy between ideal and actual body shape, as well as lower scores of ideal body shape than boys (ABI = 4.28; IBI = 3.93; SBI = 4.31; BD = 0.61). However, no statistical differences were found between boys and girls in actual and social body shape. Although current and social body images are perceived in a similar way by adolescents in our sample regardless of gender, yet girls seem to be more responsive to social and environmental pressures related with body stereotype, this being reflected by a higher dissatisfaction and a thinner idealization of the body. Our findings suggest that we need to focus our attention on girls, especially in a phase of changes such as puberty, if we aim to design any intervention that could positively impact youth’s health through a proper body image. Resumen. El proposito de este estudio fue de comparar por genero la percepcion de la imagen corporal actual (CBI), ideal (IBI) y social (SBI), asi como el descontento con el propio cuerpo (BD), en una muestra de estudiantes mexicanos de escuelas primarias y secundarias. Se selecciono una muestra de 1.146 participantes (550 ninas y 596 ninos) de entre 11 y 16 anos de edad, que completaron la adaptacion mexicana de la Contour Drawing Rating Scale. Los resultados de los analisis multivariados y univariados demuestran que las ninas (ABI = 4.26; IBI = 3.53; SBI = 4.28; BD = 0.89) sufren un mayor descontento corporal que los ninos (ABI = 4.28; IBI = 3.93; SBI = 4.31; BD = 0.61), asi como consideran que el cuerpo ideal sea mucho mas delgado. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre ninos y ninas en la imagen corporal real y social. Aunque los adolescentes perciban de una manera similar su cuerpo independientemente del genero, las ninas son mas receptivas en lo que refiere a las presiones sociales del estereotipo corporal, reflejandose esto en un mayor descontento y en un ideal excesivamente magro de su cuerpo. Nuestros resultados sugieren la necesidad de enfocar la atencion en las ninas, especialmente durante la pubertad, de cara a implementar intervenciones apropiadas que tengan un impacto real sobre la salud de los jovenes a traves de la construccion de una apropiada imagen corporal.
