• Resumen

  • This study was undertaken to examine the stability of adolescents' physical self-perceptions across short (4 days) and longer (6 and 12 months) periods of time. Boys and girls (N = 195) from 12 to 13 years of age completed the Children's Physical Self-Perception Profile for 4 consecutive days; follow-up measurements were performed 6 and 12 months later. Results for the short term revealed relatively high stability of physical self-perceptions for the group, although most individuals showed fluctuations in self-perceptions over the 4 days. As expected, adolescents' self-perceptions were less stable when follow-up measurements were administered
