“…Our findings and those of Ball et al 20 are in contrast to those of other studies, which indicate that poor self-esteem is related to body weight concern. 18,23,29,30 Global self-esteem was not significantly different between actual vs ideal body size groups (no, positive or negative discrepancy). These findings support the notion that global self-esteem is not related to body size discrepancy at this ageFwhether or not children wanted to stay the same, or become fatter or thinner.…”

OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether the discrepancy between actual and ideal body size rating is related to Chinese children's global self-esteem and global physical self-concept. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study of school children who completed questionnaires related to global self-esteem, global physical self-concept, and actual vs ideal body size. SUBJECTS: A total of 386 Chinese children (44% girls and 56% boys) aged 7-13 y from a primary school in Hong Kong, China. MEASUREMENTS: Global self-esteem and physical self-concept were measured using the physical self-descriptive questionnaire. Actual vs ideal body size discrepancy was established using the silhouette matching task. RESULTS: No significant relationship was found between global self-esteem and actual-ideal body size discrepancy of children. Global physical self-concept had a moderate negative correlation (r ¼ À0.12) with the body size discrepancy score and the discrepancy score explained very limited variance (R 2 ¼ 0.015; F(1, 296) ¼ 4.51; Po0.05) in global physical self-concept. Three body size discrepancy groups (none, positive, and negative) were examined to see if there were any significant differences in global self-esteem, global physical self-concept, and specific dimensions of physical self-concept. A significant overall difference was found between groups for global physical self-concept (F ¼ 3.73, Po0.05) and the physical self-concept subscales of physical activity (F ¼ 3.25, Po0.05), body fat (F ¼ 61.26, Po0.001), and strength (F ¼ 5.26, Po0.01). Boys scored significantly higher than girls on global physical self-conceptFespecially in the sport competence, strength, and endurance subscales. CONCLUSION: This study revealed that the actual-ideal body size discrepancy rating of Chinese children was not predictive of global physical self-concept and global self-esteem. These findings are contrary to those reported in Western children, which may mean that culture plays a role in the formation of body attitude.

“…Perceptions of the physical body are part of self-concept, and they form an integral part of overall self-worth. The evaluation of one's size, weight, or other aspects of the body that determine the manner in which the body is viewed are the essential components of the physical aspect of body image [13] . The body image changed in the higher rated chess players would be the result of participating in tournaments frequently.…”

The purpose of the study was to compare the comparison of the Body Image and Self Esteem among the FIDE rated female chess players in Kerala. 180 FIDE rated female chess players were selected as the subjects for the study. FIDE International Rating is used in Chess to calculate an estimate of the Chess playing strength of a player. The subjects under the study were equally assigned to six Groups based on their FIDE International Ratings. The six Groups are given below: Group A-Players with the Rating of 2100 and above; Group B-Players with the Rating between 1900 and 2099; Group C-Players with the Rating between 1700 and 1899; Group D-Players with the Rating between 1500 and 1699; Group E-Players with the Rating between 1200 and 1499; Group F-Players with the Rating between 1000 and 1199. This study examines the differences between the selected groups of FIDE rated female chess players on Body Image & Self-Esteem. Body Image was assessed by the 23-item Body Cathexis Scale; Self-Esteem was measured using the 10-item Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSE). ANCOVA & Scheffe's Post Hoc test were used to determine the difference between the different groups under the study. The findings of the study indicated that the Players of higher FIDE rating showed better Body Image and Self Esteem than the Players of lower FIDE rating.
