The purpose of the present study was to investigate the causal relationship between mindfulness and body image in adolescents with the mediating role of coping strategies. The research method was descriptive-correlation based on Structural equation modeling. The statistical population of the research included all high school boys students in Qaimshahr city in the academic year 2022-2023, and 300 students were selected as a sample by cluster sampling method. The tools of this research included the Multidimensional Body Self-relation Questionnaire (MBSRQ) Cash, 1985, the Way of Ciping questionnaire (WOCQ) Lazarus, 1985 and the Kentucky Inventory of mindfulness skills (KIMS) Bauer, Smith, and Allen, 2004. Structural equation analysis was used to analyze the data. The results showed the optimal fit of the research model. The results showed that mindfulness has a significant direct effect on body image (p<0.001). The direct relationship between mindfulness with a negative emotion-oriented coping style and with a positive problem-oriented coping style was significant (p<0.001). The direct relationship between an emotional-oriented coping style with a negative body image and the path coefficient between a problematic coping style with a positive body image was significant (p<0.001). The indirect relationship between mindfulness and body image through emotion-oriented coping and problem-oriented coping was positive and significant (p<0.001). It is concluded that coping strategies play a mediating role between mindfulness and body image in adolescents.
