“…Whereas males may be more susceptible to deviant peer influences to engage in risky behaviors that are overt and antisocial (Berndt 1979;Brown et al 1986a), females may be more vulnerable to other deviant social pressures to engage in less overt behaviors not captured in the measures used by the studies reviewed. For instance, evidence shows that, compared to male counterparts, adolescent females feel more pressure from friends and the media to lose weight and pursue thin ideals in health-compromising and risky ways (Ata et al 2007). In fact, concern over such conceptual and methodological issues plagues a majority of the studies included in this review, as discussed below.…”

“…Este, por sua vez pode ser entendido como a posição social de uma pessoa frente às percepções dos seus pares nos diferentes níveis sociais em que convive 9 , podendo ter impacto negativo ou positivo na vida dos indivíduos 10 , principalmente na infância e adolescência, nos quais meninas e meninos são mais dependentes da aceitação e aprovação dos pares [11][12][13][14] .…”

ResumoEste estudo teve como objetivos descrever o desempenho motor de crianças e adolescentes em relação ao "status" social dos mesmos segundo a percepção dos colegas nos diferentes sexos, além de verifi car se há o efeito sexo nessa possível associação. Participaram desta pesquisa 300 crianças e adolescentes do 3 ao 5º ano e da 4 a 6 série do Ensino Fundamental de duas escolas públicas, com idades entre oito e 14 anos. Os instrumentos utilizados foram a Bateria motora TGMD-2 e a Escala Subjetiva de Status Social. As meninas apresentaram melhor desempenho motor que os meninos, no entanto, apenas os meninos com melhor desempenho motor também apresentaram maior "status" social percebido. Tal situação nos indica que os meninos estão mais suscetíveis a avaliações sociais positivas pautadas em competências físicas que as meninas, podendo fazer uso do seu melhor nível de desempenho motor para elevar a sua popularidade na escola através de práticas esportivas.

“…Self-esteem declines during adolescence, with research suggesting that changes in body composition contribute to this considerable reduction (Clay, Vignoles, & Dittmar, 2005;Ata, Ludden, & Lally, 2007). Self-esteem is related to thoughts and feelings about one's body (Ata, et al, 2007), which can contribute to poorer mental and physical health (Trzesniewski, Donnellan, Moffitt, et al, 2006), and multiple factors can lead to this reduction in self-esteem.…”

“…Throughout adolescence, peers become more important, with reliance, support and need for approval increasing during this period (Cafri, Yamamiya, Brannick, & Thompson, 2005). Not having support or acceptance from friends has been associated with body dissatisfaction (Ata, et al, 2007) and low self-esteem (Shroff & Thompson, 2006), as it perpetuates girls' belief that they would become more popular if thinner (Oliver & Thelen, 1996).…”

As society continues to advocate an unrealistically thin body shape, awareness and internalization of appearance and its consequent impact upon self-esteem has become increasingly of concern, particularly in adolescent girls. School gender environment may influence these factors, but remains largely unexplored. This study aimed to assess differences between two different school environments in appearance attitudes, social influences and associations with self-esteem. Two hundred and twelve girls (M=13.8 years) attending either a single-sex or co-educational school completed measures on socio-cultural attitudes towards appearance, social support and self-esteem. Though marginal differences between school environments were found, significantly higher internalization was reported among girls at the co-educational school. School environment moderated relations between internalization and self-esteem such that girls in co-educational environments had poorer self-esteem stemming from greater internalization. Thus, in a single-sex school environment, protective factors may attenuate negative associations between socio-cultural attitudes towards appearance and selfesteem in adolescent girls.
