The Physical Self-attribute Questionnaire (PSAQ) effectively measures cognitive aspects of physical self-esteem across different domains. Validation in two studies confirms its reliability and suitability for assessing physical self-perceptions.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sport Psychology
  • Measurement in Psychology

Background:

  • Physical self-esteem is crucial for overall well-being.
  • Existing measures may not fully capture nuanced cognitive facets of physical self-perception.
  • The Physical Self-perception Profile (PSPP) measures physical subdomains but lacks detailed cognitive attribute assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Physical Self-attribute Questionnaire (PSAQ).
  • To model cognitive facets (competence, certainty, importance, discrepancy) within physical self-domains.
  • To assess the PSAQ's reliability, validity, and factor structure.

Main Methods:

  • Two studies were conducted with undergraduate students (N=154 in Study 1, N=120 in Study 2).
  • Confirmatory factor analysis was used to examine the questionnaire's structure.

  • Test-retest reliability and validity were assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • Confirmatory factor analysis supported a four-factor solution for the PSAQ.
    • The questionnaire demonstrated acceptable test-retest reliability and validity in both studies.
    • Results were consistent across diverse student samples.

    Conclusions:

    • The Physical Self-attribute Questionnaire is a psychometrically sound instrument.
    • The PSAQ is a viable tool for measuring cognitive facets of subdomain-specific physical self-esteem.
    • It complements the Physical Self-perception Profile by providing deeper insight into physical self-perceptions.
