“…First, the Ponderal Index (PI) of each male and female was determined by means of standard procedure (1) ; this score was then correlated with mean self-concept scores. Second, standard insurance company tables of normative weight ranges for males and females of different heights and ages (6) were used to form Fat, Average, and Thin physique groups.…”

“…Sills (1974) in an overview of the field of anthropometry reported that the use of two or three measurements did not satisfactorily provide pertinent body build rating data. Domey, Duckworth and Morandi (1964) in their analysis of physique rating systems stated that body build indices provided only basic data and insufficient information necessary for effective constitutional analysis.…”

The purpose of this study was to formulate a simplistic method of assessing human structural dysplasia and to validate a classification system that would objectively categorise the type and extent of such dysplasia through the use of indices. Anthropometric measurements were taken from a sample of 222 male college students, length/breadth ratios were formulated, and upper/lower body classifications were made in terms of type and subtype dysplasia. Correlation validation results were highly significant. Body composition data information was also provided for descriptive purposes. INTRODUCTIONMeasorement of human structural dysplasia is not new to the field of anthropometric morphology. Over the years, dysplasia typologies have been developed and have exemplified the growth of such systems. Earlier classification methodologies were centred around the measurement of the extremes of body types (Kretschmer, 1925), the structural disharmony of body parts (Viola, 1937), and the integration of unequal component (endomorphy, mesomorphy, and ectomorphy) mixtures in the different regions of the body (Sheldon et al, 1940). Subjective (anthroposcopic) and objective (anthropometric) methods of study were utilised in the makeup of these systems.

“…Although empirical verification of the existence of body build-behavior stereotypes is plentiful, the fact remains that anthropometric indices of physique calculated for somatotyping purposes tend to have little psychological predictive utility (Armstrong & Armstrong, 1968;Carron & Witzel, 1975;Domey, Duckworth, & Morandi, 1964;Hendry & Gillies, 1978;Hood, 1963;Lerner, Karabenick, & Stuart, 1973;Slaughter, 1970). Failure to detect significant, meaningful relationships between objective indices of body build and psychological attributes may be a consequence of subjective-perception of physique differing from that which results from anthropometric evaluation.…”

Physical attractiveness, somatotype, and the male personality: A dynamic interactional perspective

Investigated whether measures of personality considered compositely and individually differ significantly among groups differentiated according to self‐perceived somatotype (PSS). The Bodv Cathexis Scale, Eysenck Personality Inventory, and Tennessee Self‐Concept Scale were employed to assess personality in 285 college males, and the indices of somatotype were measured using the Perceived Somatotype Scale. MANOVA revealed significant differences in global personality among the groups. Univariate analyses indicated that the PSS groups differed significantly in self‐concept, extraversion, neuroticism, and body cathexis, while the PSI groups differed significantly in extraversion. Apparently, the male personality is partly a function of the body build perceived as self, the image viewed as ideal, and whether a discrepancy exists between the figures perceived as self and ideal.
