This study investigated the role of self-objectification and Appearance Anxiety on marital satisfaction among married people. Two hundred and fifty-three (253) participants purposively selected from St, Peters Catholic Church, ministry of education and ministry of Health, in Uyo, Akwa-Ibom State consisting of 109 males and 144 females with a mean age of 35.6 years. A survey design was adopted for the study. Three instruments were used in the study objectified body consciousness scale (Melkinley & Hyde, 1996), social Appearance Anxiety scale (Hart, David, Payo, Fresco, Holle & Henberg (2008) and couple’s satisfaction index (Funk & Rogge, 2007). A 2-way analysis of variance of unequal sample size was used to analyse the data. The result showed that married people who have high self-objectification experienced low marital satisfaction more than married people with low self-objectification (F, CI, 249) =3.979; p<0.5), thus was confirmed and significant. The result also revealed that married people who have high Appearance Anxiety reported low marital satisfaction more than married people with low Appearance Anxiety (LSD5.11; p> .05). It was therefore concluded that levels of self-objectification and Appearance Anxiety are predictors of marital satisfaction. Implication and recommendations for future study were made.
