The Relationship Between Body Image and Body Composition, Physical Condition and Weight Concerns of Female College Freshmen

Pages : 132
Book Description
Thirty - three female college freshmen were studied to compare the perceptions of body image to direct measurement of select variables which influence body image. Subjects were required to complete the Body Esteem Scale (Franzoi & Shields, 1984), perform a V02 Max test, and have underwater weight measured. Comparison was then made between self-perceptions and measured values. In regards to body weight, subjects were found to possess a better body image as weight decreased. In addition, body satisfaction increased in those who classified themselves into lower weight categories. No significance was found between subject weight perception and percent body fat, indicating an inaccurate assessment of body weight. A high correlation was found between the subjects' perceptions of ideal body weight and the measured desired body weight. Such that as calculated desired body weight increased, perceived ideal body weight decreased. In regards to physical condition, no significance was found between body image and level of physical condition. It was therefore concluded that subjects were more satisfied as percent body fat and self-perception of weight decreased, but the subjects held distorted perceptions with regards to self-perception of weight, with those of heavier weights being more distorted in their perception of ideal body weight. It was also concluded that the subjects were not correct in their perception of physical condition.

Book Description
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between achievement self-esteem, self acceptance self-esteem and body composition in college women. Methods: One-hundred and fifty eight college women were recruited to participate in the study. Participants were healthy, between the age of 18 and 25 yrs, not taking medication that would alter metabolism, and able to participate in physical activity without restriction. As part of the study the participants filled out the Worth Index, which measured level of self-acceptance and achievement self-esteem. The questionnaire included four subscales: basic human worth, performance factor, personal security and appearance. Body composition was assessed using the BOD POD. Results: Participants in the study were 19.9 ± 1.7 yrs, had a BMI of 22.5 ± 3.2 kg/m2 and a percent body fat of 26.4 ± 6.4. Source of self-esteem was primarily self-acceptance self-esteem with participants on average scoring 65 ± 11 out of 84 (high moderate) compared to an achievement self-esteem score of 35 ± 10 out of 84 (low moderate). When evaluating the subscales a similar trend appears with the exception of the performance factor, which was more normally distributed. Achievement self-esteem in appearance was positively correlated to percent body fat (p
