Abstract

Self-esteem image in pre-teens development is still intensively studied in the speciality literature. The objective of this study is to investigate the physical self-image of pre-teens in the context of adequacy and inadequacy to the ideal self-one. The hypothesis to be tested is that unfavourable self-assessment of physic attractiveness or the inadequacy of the desired pattern can be the sources of devaluation for pre-teens with a low self-esteem. Girls are more dissatisfied than boys with the height they have. Weight is a source of dissatisfaction for both, boys and girls. The work is the product of research conducted within the project PERFORMER - POSDRU/86/1.2/S/62508.
