The purpose of this study was twofold, to estimate positive correlations between scores on the Tennessee Self-concept Scale for body image and self-concept within each gender and to assess differences between genders on measures of these two concepts, thereby testing the hypothesis that women have a more diminished body image than men. The study included 36 subjects, 18 male and 18 female. Within each gender were significant and positive correlations between measures of body image and self-concept. Between the genders, there was no significant difference in scores on self-concept but there was a difference in ratings of body image, with women being significantly less satisfied.
本研究有两个目的，一是估计田纳西自我概念量表中身体意象得分与各性别自我概念得分之间的正相关关系，二是评估这两个概念测量指标上的性别差异，从而检验女性身体意象比男性更差这一假设。该研究包括36名受试者，18名男性和18名女性。在每个性别内部，身体意象测量指标与自我概念之间存在显著的正相关关系。在不同性别之间，自我概念得分没有显著差异，但身体意象评分存在差异，女性的满意度明显较低。
