Physical Self-Perception Profile – Chinese Version

Description

The current research in the area of exercise psychology in the West emphasizes that a person’s self-esteem is composed of different, specific components (e.g., body esteem, professional esteem, social esteem, etc.). Marsh & Shavelson (1988) proposed a hierarchical model of self-esteem structure, suggesting that changes in lower-level domain-specific self-esteem affect the overall self-esteem at a higher level. Therefore, to improve overall self-esteem, interventions must first enhance self-esteem in specific domains. Based on existing literature on body esteem, it is found that many researchers in the West often confuse the psychological concepts of body esteem, body self, and body image without providing rigorous definitions and distinctions. Body esteem generally refers to the body image formed in our consciousness, indicating an individual’s social evaluations of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with different aspects of their body. Body esteem is an important component of self-esteem, representing how individuals perceive their own body; while body image (Thompson, 1999) refers to people’s special feelings and cognitions about their body. However, body image and body self highlight the individual’s cognition of their body and self-description; body esteem places greater emphasis on individuals’ evaluations of body experiences.
