Franzoi and Shields (1984) described the development of a 35-item scale for measuring body esteem and discussed the factor structure, reliability, and validity of that scale. They reported finding three dimensions of body esteem for young men and women in the scale they developed, although the factors differed between the sexes and were more correlated for men. The purpose of this study was to investigate further the factor structure of the Body Esteem Scale and the degree of differentiation in body esteem implied by the correlations among those factors. Subjects were 110 female and 65 male undergraduate psychology students. Subjects completed a 5-point rating scale to describe their feelings about themselves for each of the 35 items on the Body Esteem Scale. Several items on the Body Esteem Scale appeared doubtful in this study. Body scent had small item-total correlations for both men and women, suggesting that it is not very strongly related to the body esteem concept, and small factor pattern and factor structure coefficients for both men and women, suggesting that it is also not very strongly related to any body esteem subscale. Ratings of the ears and nose also had small item-total correlations, factor pattern coefficients, and factor structure coefficients for men, suggesting similar conclusions about those items for men only. The factor structure for women in this study was similar to that reported by Franzoi and Shields, with ratings of the chin and face having relatively smaller factor loadings on the sexual attractiveness factor compared to the earlier study. The ratings for men differed in several respects from the earlier study, with ratings of health and muscular strength having larger factor loadings than earlier. Results suggested dimensions of body esteem are at least as differentiated for men as they are for women. (Six tables are attached.) (ABL)
