The article is concerned with the study of satisfaction with a body image as a component of subjective well-being of a person, and the analysis of interconnection of these phenomena. The sampling included 560 people aged from 16 to 42. The study used “the Scale of Satisfaction with Living Standards”, “the Scale of a Positive Affect and a Negative Affect”, “the Scale of Subjective Happiness”, “the Scale of Satisfaction with One’s Own Body”, and “the Body Image Inventory”. The study has revealed that satisfaction with one’s own body and its parts has a positive impact on the level of subjective well-being of men and women; satisfaction with body parts influences dissatisfaction with one’s own body on the whole with varied degree in both groups. There are differences in the connection of individual characteristics with satisfaction with one’s own body and the elements of subjective well-being of men and women.
