AI Article Synopsis
- The Physical Self-attribute Questionnaire was created to assess how individuals perceive their competence, certainty, importance, and discrepancies in various physical areas such as Strength, Attractive Body, Condition, and Sport.
- Two studies were conducted to validate the questionnaire, with Study 1 involving 154 undergraduate health students and confirming its reliability and a strong four-factor structure.
- Study 2 reinforced these findings with a different group of 120 undergraduate students, demonstrating that the questionnaire is an effective tool for measuring specific aspects of physical self-esteem.
Article Abstract
The Physical Self-attribute Questionnaire was developed for use in conjunction with the Physical Self-perception Profile to model cognitive facets of perceived competence, certainty, importance, and discrepancy from ideal to each of the physical subdomains measured by the latter (Strength, Attractive Body, Condition, and Sport). To this end, two studies were conducted. Study 1 examined the factor structure, test-retest reliability, and validity of the questionnaire in a sample of 154 (28 men, 126 women) undergraduate health students. Reliability and validity were acceptable, and confirmatory factor analysis indicated good fit for a four-factor solution. In Study 2, the reliability, validity, and factor structure was again confirmed in a sample of 120 (83 men, 37 women) undergraduate students recruited from exercise classes. Results of these two studies suggest that the Physical Self-attribute Questionnaire is a viable tool to measure the underlying cognitive facets of subdomain-specific physical self-esteem.

The construct of the "self" is conceived as being fundamental in promoting survival. As such, extensive studies have documented preferential processing of self-relevant stimuli. For example, attributes that relate to the self are better encoded and retrieved, and are more readily consciously perceived.
