The present study was conducted to predict body image concerns based on rejection sensitivity, defense mechanisms, and sexual self-esteem in people referring to Zanjan gyms. The study was of a descriptive-correlation type. The statistical population was all men referring to Zanjan city gyms in 2023. From this community, 384 people were selected based on Cochran's formula. Research data collection tools: Body Image Concern Questionnaire (BICQ) by Littleton et al. (2005), Rejection Sensitivity Questionnaire (RSQ) by Downey and Feldman (1996), Defense Mechanisms Questionnaire (DMQ) by Andrews et al. (1993) and Sexual Self-Esteem Questionnaire (SSEQ) was Basel and Rostahl (1996). Multivariate regression was used to analyze the data. The results showed that rejection sensitivity, defense mechanisms, and sexual self-esteem could explain 24% of men's body image concern variance in three steps (p<0.05). According to the findings, interventions can be designed and implemented to improve rejection sensitivity, defense mechanisms, and sexual self-esteem to reduce body image concerns in men.
