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.
