“…Therefore, conductors which had body builds closer to the mesomorphic body types were perceived as being stronger conductors and having better sounding ensembles. These results coincide with those from other disciplines in which of the three body types, endomorphic, mesomorphic, and ectomorphic, persons with mesomorphic body types are perceived as being more successful (Lemer & Kom, 1972;Scodel, 1957;Staffieri, 1967;Wiggins, Wiggins, & Conger, 1968).…”

“…While much of this research has been concerned with the health and psychological impact of overweight persons, researchers have also found body type preferences in subjects viewing both the same gender and opposite gender examples. Results indicated that persons who were overweight or obese had a physique viewed unfavorably by evaluators, while extremely thin persons were considered only slightly unfavorably by evaluators (Lemer & Kom, 1972;Scodel, 1957;Staffieri, 1967;Wiggins, Wiggins, & Conger, 1968).…”

“…Research has shown that adults prefer mesomorphic or average muscular build (Lemer & Kom, 1972;Scodel, 1957;Staffieri, 1967;Wiggins et al, 1968). Results also revealed that persons who are overweight or obese have a physique that others view unfavorably while extremely thin persons are viewed only slightly unfavorably.…”

“…When rating performances by persons of different body types, it has been found that persons with endomorphic body types are rated lower than persons with ectomorphic body types (Lemer & Kom, 1972;Scodel, 1957;Staffieri, 1967;Wiggins, Wiggins, & Conger, 1968 represented a body build closest to the mesomorphic body type followed closely by conductor #5. These varying degrees of endomorphic and ectomorphic body types are important because the results of the post hoc tests for each of the Three-Way ANOVA's found conductors' #6, #5, and #2 were ranked higher in all variable categories respectively.…”

“…A consistent finding among pediatricians (e.g., Bell and Morgan, 2000) and psychologists (e.g., Crocker et al, 1993;Lerner and Korn, 1972) is that the obese are more negatively stigmatized than almost all other social groups. Evidence from a variety of methodological traditions has shown that ethnic minorities, women, people in wheelchairs, amputees, and children and adults with facial disfigurements are all viewed more positively (e.g., friendlier, more likely to succeed, etc.)…”

Recent concerns with the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adults indicate the need to better understand the psychosocial correlates of weight. We examined the relationships among negative stereotypes of obesity, "thin ideal" beliefs, perceptions of the causes of obesity and of control over weight, body esteem, and global self-esteem. A negative correlation between beliefs in control over one's weight and self-esteem was mediated by both negative attitudes toward obesity and thin idealization. Additionally, body esteem and gender were related but this relationship was mediated by beliefs in control over weight and valuation of the thin ideal. Central to the theoretical foundation of this research, however, was the observed negative correlation between negative attitudes toward obesity and self-esteem. This relationship was mediated primarily by the belief that obesity is caused by personality shortcomings. This last finding is explained from a social identity perspective.

Physical attractiveness, somatotype, and the male personality: A dynamic interactional perspective

Investigated whether measures of personality considered compositely and individually differ significantly among groups differentiated according to self‐perceived somatotype (PSS). The Bodv Cathexis Scale, Eysenck Personality Inventory, and Tennessee Self‐Concept Scale were employed to assess personality in 285 college males, and the indices of somatotype were measured using the Perceived Somatotype Scale. MANOVA revealed significant differences in global personality among the groups. Univariate analyses indicated that the PSS groups differed significantly in self‐concept, extraversion, neuroticism, and body cathexis, while the PSI groups differed significantly in extraversion. Apparently, the male personality is partly a function of the body build perceived as self, the image viewed as ideal, and whether a discrepancy exists between the figures perceived as self and ideal.
