Book Description
This study attempted to ferret out specific psychological variables of self-esteem and body-cathexis that enable some women to overcome gender stereotypes of body image and exercise, thereby allowing them to engage in weight training. The author utilized a sample of women from a health club facility and compared women who primarily weight trained to women who primarily attended aerobics classes on several variables. The study explored four main questions : (1) Do women who weight train and women who participate in aerobics classes differ in their levels of global self-esteem and/or body-cathexis? (2) Do women who weight train possess a more masculine or androgynous gender role orientation compared to women who take aerobics classes? (3) Do women's reasons for exercising influence whether they choose to weight train or take aerobics classes? (4) Is there a cohort effect of age that influences whether women will choose to engage in weight training exercises or aerobics classes? The sample consisted of 141 women between the ages of , 16 and 57. Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (1965) measured global selfesteem; Tucker's (1985) version of the Body Cathexis Scale measured body-cathexis; Bern's Sex Role Inventory (1974) assessed gender role orientation; Silberstein's Reasons for Exercise Inventory (1988) assessed reasons for exercising; the author's Demographic Questionnaire assessed variables including age and frequency of exercise. Results indicated that women in this sample who took aerobics classes chose weight control as the most important reason to exercise compared to women who engaged in weight training. The study also demonstrated that women who weight trained participated in aerobics classes more often then the women who used aerobics classes as their only means of exercise. Other hypotheses explored were not supported by this study. These results suggest the need for future research about the relationships between self-esteem, body image, and exercise for women.

The Measurement of Self-esteem and Other Self-concept Dimensions

Book Description
Ruth C. Wylie's two volumes of The Self-Concept, published by Nebraska in 1974 and 1979, evaluated psychological and sociological studies of self-concept and self-esteem. Looking at a plethora of tests, Wylie found in 1974 that very few had been adequately conceived or implemented. Many produced results that wereøunverifiable or specious. Her findings had disturbing implications not only for the tests themselves but for substantive research based upon them. In the 1980s psychometric tests of self-concept have continued to proliferate. Wylie has continued to assess them. Measures of Self-Concept briefly summarizes the psychometric criteria for self-concept tests, as fully discussed in Wylie's 1974 book, and the present general state of methodological adequacy of currently used earlier tests and some promising new ones still under development. Although Wylie still finds serious shortcomings, she notes a greater attempt today to increase and evaluate the validity of self-concept indices. This book presents detailed, up-to-date information about and psychometric evaluations of ten self-concept tests that appear to be the most meritorious candidates for current use and for further research and development. It is the first book since her 1974 volume to review specific as well as general measures of self-esteem for a range of ages from preschool to adult.
