    • Psychology
    • Anthropometry
    • Adolescent Health

    Context:

    • Study conducted on a representative sample of 8th-grade students in Basle, born in 1960.
    • Included 165 boys and 237 girls, providing a balanced gender perspective.
    • Utilized 23 Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) scales for psychological assessment.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the correlation between physical characteristics (height, triceps skinfold thickness) and psychological attributes (MMPI scales).
    • To determine if gender influences the relationship between physical measurements and social ratings derived from psychological assessments.

    Summary:

    • No significant correlation was observed between MMPI scales and physical measurements in adolescent boys.
    • In adolescent girls, height demonstrated a positive correlation with social rating scales.
