Abstract	:	The purpose of this study was to examine self-esteem levels in children from lower socioeconomic families in relation to their attraction to physical activity (PA). 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.
