One that influences body dissatisfaction is the media, therefore media literacy can be used to prevent body dissatisfaction by thinking critically about the messages conveyed by the media. This study aims to look at the relationship between media literacy and body dissatisfaction in adolescent girls in the city of Bukittinggi. The research method used in this study is a quantitative method with a correlational research design and using correlation analysis Spearman’s Rho. Respondents in this study amounted to 150 young women in the city of Bukittinggi using the technique of accidental sampling. Data collection was carried out using adaptation measuring devices New Media Literacy (NML) Scale and Body Dissatisfaction Scale for Women (BDS-W). Reliability on the media literacy scale is 0.918 and on the scale body dissatisfaction of 0.870. The results of this study indicate that media literacy is significantly negatively related to body dissatisfaction, the relationship between these two variables has moderate strength. This can be seen from the significance value of 0.000 (p <0.05) and the correlation coefficient of -0.515. That is, the better the media literacy skills of young women in the city of Bukittinggi, the lower the degree of body dissatisfaction, and vice versa. A good ability to access messages in the media, process messages in the media, create media content, and use media in various skill levels can lower the level of dissatisfaction with the perceived body.
