摘要：Purpose : The purpose of this study was to identify determinants of physical self-worth in Romanian adolescents and their relationship to physical self-esteem and Body mass index (BMI).Design and methods: A quantitative correlational research design was utilized.The Children and Youth Physical Self- Perception Profile (CY-PSPP,Ecklund,Whitehead,& Welk,1997) was completed by a sample of 168 high school students (age range = 15-18 years),from one high school in city of Cluj.CY-PSPP was recently adapted to Romanian norms (Craciun et al.,2010).Results: Quantitative data from this study revealed negative correlations between BMI and all selfperceptions(p<.05),except strength,which showed a positive correlation (p<0.05).Conclusions: This paper was conducted with the intention of a better understanding relationship between perceived physical self-esteem and BMI.The majority of components of physical self-esteem were negatively correlated with BMI increases.Thus,it means that physical self-perceptions will decrease as physical activity levels decrease.
