This research seeks to answer the following questions: Is self-esteem influenced by a child's attraction to PA, or does attraction to PA have the same effect on children with dissimilar levels of self-esteem? The General Self subscale (GS subscale) of the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI) School Form was used to measure children's general self-esteem levels, and the Children's Attraction to Physical Activity (CAPA) was used to assess their attraction to PA. Children from four elementary schools were solicited to participate in the study. Children were given both the CSEI and the CAPA in a random order. A one-way ANOVA demonstrated a significant relationship between self-esteem and attraction to PA ( p < .05). Children with low self-esteem were significantly (p < .05) less attracted to PA compared to children with higher self-esteem. | Subject | : | Health and environmental sciences; Education; Psychology; Behavioral psychology; Physical education; Public health; Personality psychology; 0625:Personality psychology; 0573:Public health; 0384:Behavioral psychology; 0523:Physical education | Added Entry | : | P.
