Abstract des Autors
The purpose of this study was to compare body image, body-cathexis, and self-cathexis variables among the following sport groups at Florida State University: team sports - football (N = 65), basketball (N = 12), baseball (N = 26); individual sports - weightlifting (N = 15), swimming (N = 18), gymnastics (N = 9). Using multiple discriminate analysis, significant differences were noted among the team sports and individual sports, but not between the combined team sports and the combined individual sports. Significant differences were also noted among the six sport groups for the body and self-cathexis variables, but not for the body image variable. Of the groups tested, basketball players and gymnasts were found to be the most different from each other. Verf.-Referat
