High school males (N = 109) and junior high school males (N = 112) administered the Physical Estimation and Attraction Scales (PEAS), the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale (TSCS), and a physical fitness battery. Previous research results were replicated in the h.s. group in that fitness and self-esteem were not significantly related but Estimation (of physical ability) correlated significantly with both fitness and self-esteem (p less than .01). Similar results were obtained in the jr. h.s. sample. Additionally, the validity of the Estimation (EST) scale was extended to include significant relationships with indices of emotional adjustment other than self-esteem. EST scores were shown to be influenced to significant but not inordinate degree by certain response bias tendencies. Negatively phrased EST items were denied significantly more often than positive EST items were affirmed and were more highly related to both response bias and emotional adjustment scores. Controlling for response bias influence by partial correlation failed to extinguish the significance of EST validating relationships. It was concluded that these relationships exist independently of response style or response set.
高中男生（N = 109）和初中男生（N = 112）接受了身体评估与吸引力量表（PEAS）、田纳西自我概念量表（TSCS）以及一套体能测试。之前的研究结果在高中组得到了重复，即体能与自尊无显著关联，但（对身体能力的）评估与体能和自尊均显著相关（p小于0.01）。在初中样本中也获得了类似结果。此外，评估（EST）量表的效度得到了扩展，以纳入与自尊以外的情绪调节指标的显著关系。结果表明，EST分数受到某些反应偏差倾向的显著但并非过度的影响。与肯定积极的EST项目相比，否定表述的EST项目被否定的频率显著更高，且与反应偏差和情绪调节分数的相关性更强。通过偏相关控制反应偏差影响并未消除EST验证关系的显著性。研究得出结论，这些关系独立于反应方式或反应倾向而存在。
