Abstract

Three factors of a body-esteem scale, Appearance, Weight, and Attribution, were inversely related to relative weight in youngster between 8 and 16 years old (243 girls and 168 boys). Global self-esteem, however, was generally not related to relative weight. Nonetheless, self-esteem covaried with Appearance and Attribution.
