“…Higher scores on this scale indicate higher levels of impulsivity independent of aggressive behavior. Self esteem was measured using an eight item version of the self concept scale with scores ranging between 8 and 32 (Robson, 1989). Cronbach's alphas for our sample were 0.71 for the impulsivity scale and 0.90 for the self esteem scale.…”

“…Self-esteem A shortened 8-item version of the Self-Concept Scale, a well-validated measure of self-esteem [37]. The original author developed the shortened version [23] by selecting items from each factor within the full version of the scale that correlated most highly with overall scores on the scale.…”

The aims of this study were to identify in what ways adolescents who cut themselves differ from those who take overdoses, and to investigate the role of contagion in these behaviours. Data from an anonymous selfreport questionnaire survey of 6,020 adolescents in 41 schools were analysed. Comparison of 220 adolescents who reported self-cutting in the previous year with 86 who had taken overdoses in the previous year as the sole method of deliberate self-harm (DSH) showed that far more of those who cut themselves had friends who had also engaged in DSH in the same period (OR 2.84, 95% CI 1.5-5.3, P \ 0.001), and fewer had sought help from friends before cutting (OR 0.5, 95% CI 0.3-0.9, P \ 0.02). Selfcutting usually involved less premeditation. Analyses at both the individual and school level showed that the association between engaging in DSH and exposure to DSH amongst peers was largely confined to girls who cut themselves. There are important differences between adolescents who cut themselves and those who take overdoses. Contagion may be an important factor in DSH by adolescents, especially in girls who cut themselves. These findings are relevant to the design of prevention and treatment programmes.

Objective: To investigate the accuracy of self-reported weight of overweight and obese women and characterisation of under-, correct-and over-reporters based on a number of related variables. Design: Weight was self-reported before entering the study. At baseline, actual weight was recorded, and demographic, health, nutritional, psychological and physical activity questionnaires were completed. Setting: A hospital outpatient department. Subjects: Participants were 131 women aged 18±64 years with a body mass index BMI $ 28 attending a Comprehensive Weight Management Programme. Outcome measures: The accuracy of self-reported weight was investigated for the total group, and the subjects were then categorised into three groups according to accuracy of self-reported weight (under-, correct-and over-reporters). The relationship between these accuracy groups and demographic, health, nutritional, and psychological variables and physical activity was examined, to characterise the under-, correct-and over-reporters. Results: Although not statistically significantly different, the total group of women tended to underestimate their weight by 0.8 (^3.6) kg. Categorisation according to the accuracy groups revealed that 29% underestimated their weight by 2 kg or more, 19% overestimated their weight by 2 kg or more, and only 52% correctly estimated their weight within 2 kg. Some trends and statistically significant differences between the accuracy groups concerning certain variables, e.g. height, age, income, education, contraceptive pill usage, smoking and food choices were evident. Conclusions: Self-reported weight of a group of overweight/obese individuals may be a valid and reliable indicator of actual weight, but self-reported weight of an overweight/obese individual can not be interpreted similarly. Further research is necessary to ensure reliable characterisation of under-, over-and correct reporters.
