Body Build Stereotypes and Self-Identification in Three Age Groups of Females.
Brenner, David; Hinsdale, Gary
Adolescence, v13 n52 p551-61 Win 1978
Body build stereotypes of average-weight and heavy females, ages 6, 15, and 19, were studied through adjective checklists and drawings of endomorphs, ectomorphs, and mesomorphs. Mesomorph drawings were favored and the endomorphs least liked. But heavy subjects rejected for themselves behavioral stereotypes previously applied to the endomorph figures. (SJL)
