Thirty-eight kindergarteners and first graders in six classrooms of two elementary schools in a rural community of a north-eastern state were assessed on pretests and post-tests of the Self-Esteem Index (SEI) scale and the Children's Inventory of Self-Esteem (CISE) scale.
Since Cronbach's alpha is a conservative estimate of internal consistency [ 45], the self-esteem index was retained.
In this study, however, we neither found a significant correlation between the self-esteem index nor the personality variables (BCI) and job satisfaction, indicating that confidence in clinical skills in this respect do measure more than personality characteristics.
As an index of his esteem for Ms. Linsell, whom he married in 1970, Mr. Fiorentino had a longstanding practice, at social functions, of squiring her into the best possible light.
This study tested to what degree five theorized risk factors (weight-related teasing, thin-ideal internalization, body mass index [BMI], self-esteem, and perfectionism) predicted prospective changes in body dissatisfaction.
Gender-stratified models were used to estimate prospective associations between childhood body dissatisfaction, body mass index (BMI), self-esteem, maternal eating disorder and family economic disadvantage on adolescent eating disorder behaviours and cognitions.
The purposes of this study were to identify correlations between body mass index, body image, and self-esteem in patients with schizophrenia and to analyse the specific factors affecting self-esteem.
To assess body dissatisfaction among children between 9 and 14 years of age and to examine factors (age, sex, body mass index, perceived shape, and self-esteem) associated with wanting a thinner or a larger shape.
There were also decreased scores for the domains of self-esteem, general behaviour and the physical function index.

Moreover, 1.4%% of the girls and 3.3%% of the boys met the criteria for obesity (p = 0.020) (Table 1).. BD of EDI - Body Dissatisfaction subscale of the Eating Disorder Inventory, BMI - body mass index, RSES - Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale.
