| Annotation | The structure of the expanded version of the. Exercise and Self-Esteem Model was examined in a sample of 174 older people (mean age 66.7 years) over a 4-year period. A panel analysis revealed support for the indirect effects of physical activity (PA) and self-efficacy (SE) on physical self-worth and global esteem through sub-domain levels of esteem. These relationships were consistent across the 4-year period. Over time, older people reporting greater reductions in SE and PA also reported greater reductions in sub-domain esteem. This is one of the first studies to examine these relationships longitudinally in the PA domain and offers further support for the hierarchical and multidimensional nature of self-esteem at the physical level. The authors recommended further testing of the Exercise and Self-Esteem Model, with special attention being paid to assessing multiple aspects of PA and SE. (RH) |
