Introduction: Modern society shows numerous disorders in the field of gender and sexual definition. One of the less popular orientations is self-esteem and assessment of the own body of pansexual women.
Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between sexual orientation, self-esteem of the body of pansexual women, and socioeconomic variables.
Material and Methods: The study involved 45 pansexual women who differed in terms of age, place of residence, education, having children, the level of formalization of close relationships and participation in the psychotherapy process. The study used the author's questionnaire, the Body Esteem Scale (Franzoi & Shields) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale.
Results: In the group of studied women, a significant negative correlation was found between age and self-esteem in pansexual women (ρ = -0.330; p < 0.05), as well as statistically significant relationships of strong intensity between the level of formalization of a close relationship and the assessment of one's own body (ρ = 0.549; p < 0.001). The Mann-Whitney U test showed statistically significant (p < 0.001) differences in the level of self-esteem in pansexual women depending on the attendance at psychotherapy.
Conclusions: The results indicate that the self-esteem of pansexual women tends to decrease with age, while pansexual women in a formalized relationship assess their own bodies better than women who are not in a stable partner relationship. Pansexual women who have experience with psychotherapy have higher self-esteem.
