“…Crocker, Eklund, and Kowalski (2000) found a positive correlation between physical self-perceptions and both boys and girls physical activity levels, although boys were more physically active than girls and had higher perceptions of sport competence and strength. Similar results regarding the positive relationships between physical self-perceptions and participation in physical activities have also been reported (Hagger et al, 1998;Parfitt & Eston, 2005;Parfitt, Pavey, & Rowlands, 2009;Raudsepp, Liblik, & Hannus, 2002;Welk & Eklund, 2005). Moreover, students' body mass index was positively correlated with children's self-perception of body attractiveness and physical condition and the VO 2 max estimation was positively correlated with children's self-perception of their physical condition (Welk & Eklund, 2005).…”

“…There is also some evidence from the validation process in non-English speaking samples (Asci et al, 2005;Hagger et al, 1998;Raustorp et al, 2005). However, the results of these studies did not provide a clear picture for the psychometric properties of the CY-PSPP in non-English speaking samples.…”

“…Research evidence supported the factorial validity of the CY-PSPP and its hierarchical structure (Eklund et al, 1997;Hagger et al, 2005;Welk et al, 1995;Welk & Eklund, 2005;Whitehead, 1995). However, some mixed results (Biddle et al, 1993;Hagger et al, 1998) raise concerns for further examination of the psychometric properties of the CY-PSPP. Actually, the validation process of a questionnaire instrument requires an ongoing work (Fox, 2000).…”

Therefore, further examination of the psychometric properties of the CY-PSPP in non-English speaking samples is warranted.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Greek version of the Children and Youth Physical Self-Perception Profile questionnaire. The factor structure, internal consistency, temporal stability, concurrent and criterion-related validity, and social desirability effect were examined. Results from the confirmatory factor analyzes supported the six-factor solution and the hypothesized hierarchical structure of these factors. Internal consistency and temporal stability were adequate and no social desirability effect was emerged. Moreover, the concurrent and the criterion validity of the questionnaire were supported. In particular, questionnaire subscales were correlated in expected ways with corresponding subscales of the Harter's Self-Perception Profile for Children as well as with students' scores in shuttle run test and the participation time in sport. Overall, the results showed that the Greek version of the scale is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to examine Greek children's and youth's selfperceptions.

Exercising the Self: On the Role of Exercise, Gender and Culture in Physical-self Perceptions

In modern society, individuals constantly pass judgments on their own body and physical competence as well as that of other people. All too often, the verdict is less favourable. For the person, these physical self-perceptions (PSP) may negatively affect global self-esteem, identity, and general mental well being. The overall aim of this thesis is to examine primarily the role that exercise, but also the roles that gender and culture, play in the formation of PSP. In Study I, using confirmatory factor analyses, strong support for the validity of a firstorder, and a second-order hierarchical and multidimensional model of the Physical Self-Perception Profile (PSPP: Fox & Corbin, 1989) was found across three national samples (Great Britain, Sweden and Turkey) of university students. Cross-cultural differences were detected, with the British sample demonstrating higher latent means on all PSPP subdomains except for the physical condition subdomain (Condition), than the Swedish and Turkish samples. In Study II, a higher self-reported exercise frequency was associated with more positive PSP (in particular for Condition) and more importance attributed to PSP in Swedish university students. Males demonstrated higher overall PSPP-scores than females. In Study III, a true-experimental design with randomisation into an intervention and a control group was adopted. Strong support for the effects of an empowerment-based exercise intervention programme on PSP and social physique anxiety (SPA) over six months for adolescent girls was found. The relations of exercise, gender and culture with PSP, SPA and self-esteem are discussed from the standpoints of a variety of theoretical models (e.g., the EXSEM-model), and frameworks (self-presentation and objectification theory). The two theories of self-enhancement and skilldevelopment are examined with regard to the direction of the exercise-physical self relationship and motivation for exercise. Arguments for the relevance of exercise and PSP for practitioners in promoting general mental well-being and preventing modern-day diseases are outlined. Brown, 1998; p. 193). "It is pretty well understood now that the result of physical training is to train the nervous centres more than the muscles"(James, 1899; p. 220).

In the quest for survival in the academic jungle (i.e. in the context of writing a PhD dissertation, to finish in the predetermined time of four years), the famous philosophical quotation from the poet and theologian John Donne (1573-1631):"No man is an island, entire ...

Luxury Fashion Retail Management

In fashion business, the luxury sector is very critical. In recent years, many luxury fashion brands have made significant gains in both established and emerging markets. With the global financial unstability, in luxury fashion retailing, proper operations and strategic management are very crucial items on senior management's agenda. In fact, owing to the recent global financial tsunami and the European debt crisis, many luxury fashion companies are getting more conservative about their product offerings and development. Undoubtedly, the importance of luxury fashion and the recent global economics volatility all mean that there is a need to examine innovative management models and frameworks for supporting luxury fashion retail management. However, there is currently an absence of such a reference source in the literature. As a result, this book carefully selects and features related studies and the respective insights into an edited volume. This book includes three important parts, namely: (i) reviews and discussions, (ii) quantitative research, and (iii) qualitative research. All the featured papers are peer-refereed, and the topics covered include the following:
