This research aims to evaluate the structure of the Body Esteem Scale and the differences in body esteem between male and female college students.
Factor analysis was conducted on the Body Esteem Scale to assess its multidimensional structure.
Reliability and validity data were collected to support the scale's usage in college populations.
Males showed body esteem dimensions of physical attractiveness, upper body strength, and physical condition.
Females' body esteem included sexual attractiveness, weight concern, and physical condition, revealing greater differentiation among these dimensions.
The body esteem dimensions for males were found to be more intercorrelated than those for females.
