Abstract
The Tennessee Self-concept Scale, Body Cathexis Scale, and Eysenck Personality Inventory were administered to 113 university males who were also asked to report the total number of months they had trained with weights in the past. Analysis showed that as weight-training experience increased, measures of self-concept, body satisfaction, and extraversion increased commensurately and lie-scale scores decreased proportionately.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
