“…Mean levels of self-esteem were similar to normative data reported by Biddle et al (1993) 15 for 452 British children aged 12-14 years, for example GSW was reported as 2.9+-0.6 compared to 3.00 +-0.79 in the present sample and PSW as 2.8 +-0.5 compared to 2.6+-0.7. The quality of life and self-efficacy scales were disease specific so comparisons with the non-diabetic population are not appropriate, however mean scores for both were above the midpoint for the scale indicating relatively high quality of life and self-efficacy.…”

Physical activity and psychological well being contribute to positive lifestyle and well being in youngsters who have Type 1 diabetes. The aims of this study were to objectively assess the physical activity levels of children with Type 1 diabetes, and investigate associations between physical activity levels, psychological well-being and HbA 1c . Thirty-six children, mean age 12.8 years, participated in the investigation. Physical activity was assessed using heart rate monitoring over four days. Children further completed the Diabetes Quality of Life for Youths Questionnaire, the Physical Self-Perception Profile for Children, and the Self-Efficacy for Diabetes Scale. Routine outpatient HbA 1c measurements were recorded. There were no significant associations between psychological well-being and physical activity, or HbA 1c and physical activity, thus suggesting physical activity does not directly relate to psychological wellbeing in children with Type 1 diabetes. It may be that the effect of physical activity differs from that in children without Type 1 diabetes because of the place of physical activity within diabetes management and the need to balance this with insulin dosage and dietary intake to maintain blood glucose levels.

“…Research evidence supported the factorial validity of the CY-PSPP and its hierarchical structure (Eklund et al, 1997;Hagger et al, 2005;Welk et al, 1995;Welk & Eklund, 2005;Whitehead, 1995). However, some mixed results (Biddle et al, 1993;Hagger et al, 1998) raise concerns for further examination of the psychometric properties of the CY-PSPP. Actually, the validation process of a questionnaire instrument requires an ongoing work (Fox, 2000).…”

“…Further research on the C-PSPP has yield mixed results. In particular, Biddle, Page, Ashford, Jennings, Brooke, and Fox (1993) used British children and youth to examine the psychometric properties of the C-PSPP. The exploratory factor analysis revealed a six-factor solution for the C-PSPP instead of the hypothesized four-factor structure.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Greek version of the Children and Youth Physical Self-Perception Profile questionnaire. The factor structure, internal consistency, temporal stability, concurrent and criterion-related validity, and social desirability effect were examined. Results from the confirmatory factor analyzes supported the six-factor solution and the hypothesized hierarchical structure of these factors. Internal consistency and temporal stability were adequate and no social desirability effect was emerged. Moreover, the concurrent and the criterion validity of the questionnaire were supported. In particular, questionnaire subscales were correlated in expected ways with corresponding subscales of the Harter's Self-Perception Profile for Children as well as with students' scores in shuttle run test and the participation time in sport. Overall, the results showed that the Greek version of the scale is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to examine Greek children's and youth's selfperceptions.

“…Little is known about the effects of engaging in physical exercise and sports on the body and sexual self-esteem among individuals with disabilities. A large number of studies have demonstrated that physical exercise or sport increases or improves body self-esteem [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Others emphasise an improvement in one's sex life [22][23][24][25].…”

Validation of a Scale for Body and Sexual Self-Esteem in Athletes with Disabilities

The objective was to examine the sexual and body self-esteem of Brazilian competitive athletes with physical disabilities using The Physical Disability Sexual and Body Esteem Scale (PDSBE). This study involved 150 men and 58 women over 18 years of age engaged in various sports activities. The participants obtained a mean of 42.66 (±8.11) on the scale for body and sexual self-esteem. Mean scores were similar for both sexes and among types of physical disability. The body and sexual self-esteem indexes for Brazilian para-athletes were found to be significantly higher with respect to the population of individuals with disabilities previously examined with the PDSBE. The scale showed itself to be a valid instrument in measuring body and sexual dimensions (a = .907) among the Brazilian subjects, despite loading on only 2-D (sexual esteem and level of externally perceived sexual attraction), skipping one of the original dimensions (body esteem).
