The Body-Esteem Scale.
Information:
The original body-esteem scale is a 35 item questionnaire regarding feelings on different attributes of an individuals body.
Items are scored on a 1-5 scale, with the total scale score calculated from the individual scores for items on the sub-scales. For example adding all the values from upper body strength for males (UBS), this would be 9 items.
