Relation Between Body-Esteem and Self-Esteem of Obese and Normal Children.

Mendelson, Beverley Katz; White, Donna Romano

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v54 n3 (Part 1) p899-905 Jun 1982

Normal and obese children completed self-esteem and body-esteem questionnaires. Body-esteem was significantly correlated with self-esteem and percentage overweight. Body-esteem and relative weight were correlated; self-esteem and relative weight were not related. The body/self-esteem relation was the same for normal and obese children. (Author/RD)
