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

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

Languages : en
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.

The Relationship Between Resistance Training Body Composition and Self-esteem in Adolescents

Pages : 0
Book Description
Introduction: Childhood obesity and mental health continue to be a growing concern. Today, children are exposed to technology and other gadgets increasing their opportunities to be sedentary thus, children’s lack of physical activity, could increase negative self-esteem reports. Because of this, engaging in an active lifestyle may help improve self-esteem in adolescents. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess how body composition and physical activity relates to self-esteem within adolescents. Methods: The study was completed following 15 weeks. A total sample of 44 (28 boys, 16 girls) subjects gave assent and parental consent to be included in the study. Students participated in various weightlifting classes in which they completed three mesocycles of resistance training during the semester. To test pre and post variables, Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzers (BIA) were used to assess body composition (BC). Self-esteem (SE) was measured by the Rosenburg Self-esteem Scale. A Digital Hand Dynamometer was be used to assess the effect of resistance training on student’s handgrip strength (HGS). Results: Due to unequal sample-sizes between genders, the primary statistics of this study were assessed as an independent t-test (collapsed across gender). Results revealed no significant difference for BC or HGS (p = 0.171 – 0.619), however, there was a significant difference between pre and post-test for SE (p = 0.001). Pre versus post SE mean was 26.68 and 30.36 respectively. Additionally independent t-tests were assessed per gender. For females, no significance was observed for any variables (p = 0.059 – 0.729). For males, no differences were seen for FM or HGS (p = 0.161 – 0.687), however, there was a significant difference for SE (p = 0.004). Lastly, a Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to examine the relationships between FM, HGS and SE. Results from Pearson Correlation Coefficient test revealed no significant differences (p = 0.281 – 0.455) or effect sizes (-.116 - .100). Conclusion: The present findings suggest that structured physical activity, can have a positive outcome on high-school aged self-esteem values. While no significant differences were observed for body composition, or hand grip strength, it is possible that engaging in structured physical activity can increase adolescents’ self-esteem. Statistics suggest that males positive SE could be attributed to structured physical activity, however, more studies are needed to support this theory.

Publisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781634838702
Category : Body image
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The relationship between self-esteem and body image has been well-established such that low levels of self-esteem have been found to be associated with body image concerns. The authors review previous research on the link between low self-esteem and body image concerns and then discuss more recent research concerning the importance of contingent self-esteem in this connection. The next chapter provides a discussion on the commonness of body dissatisfaction among contemporary Western young women and suggests re-embodiment as a means of transforming this experience. Chapter 3 explores the relationship between appearance satisfaction emotional overeating, experiences of racism and BMI among Black and African American women. Ethnic identity plays an important role in the self-concept related to feelings and attitudes. Chapter 4 explores the ethnic differences in self-esteem and body image among adolescents, as well as the need to address ethnicity in prevention programs. The remaining chapters of the book focus on body image in adolescent pregnancy; magazine image influence, extraversion and body image in college males; sociocultural factors, body image factors and self-esteem on school-age males and females, the perception of self-image in older people and how it changes throughout life; an examination of how the way woman perceive themselves influences the psychosexual impact on quality of life; and finally, how people can improve or develop a healthier investment in appearance.
