The Relationship of Self-Concept with Physical Estimation and Physical Performance for Preadolescent Boys and Girls

Utah State University Lompoc Unified School District

Four hundred and ten male and female middle school subjects completed two identical assessments of self-concept, physical estimation, and physical performance at twelve week intervals. Significant positive relationships were found among the variables, although the strength of the relationships varied. These findings confirmed, across genders and two assessments, that the relationship between self-concept and physical estimation were consistently greater than the relationship between self-concept and physical performance. In addition, these findings indicated that gender and age are important mediating variables for understanding the relationships among self-concept, physical estimation, and physical performance.
