This study was designed to examine the relationship between preservice teachers' perceived body sizes and confidence in their ability to teach. One hundred two participants completed a questionnaire that included 1) providing height and weight information, 2) completing The Teaching Anxiety Scale (TCHAS), 3) selecting body images best representing perceived and desired body sizes, 4) self-rating confidence in ability to teach, and 5) predicting students' perceptions of them as teachers. Participants were grouped according to their perceived body sizes. Despite finding that perceived body size and confidence in teaching ability may be related, it appears as though perceived body size alone may not accurately predict the direction of this relationship.
