They were randomly assigned to two intervention groups and a control group (n=20 per group). Body dissatisfaction was assessed using a 9-item scale from the 68-item Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire. The Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale was used to measure the dependent variable. The two intervention groups, HBIP and CCBT, received eight training sessions (90 to 120 minutes each), while the control group received no intervention. Data analysis was performed using repeated measures analysis of variance and Bonferroni’s post-hoc test by SPSS 26 software. Findings: There was a notable distinction in perfectionism levels among adolescents with body dissatisfaction between the HBIP and CCBT groups compared to the control group (p<0.01). Furthermore, the results showed a significant reduction in perfectionism among adolescents with body dissatisfaction in the HBIP group compared to the CCBT group.
