- Abstract
This study was intended to look for the relationship between gender and age in self-esteem in adolescent basketball players. Our study sample consisted of 95 adolescent basketball players (54 males and 41 females) from different sport secondary schools and clubs in Prague and Brno (Czech Republic). The respondents were divided into two age groups (13 to 15-year-olds in the first, 16 to 18-year-olds in the second). Self-esteem was assessed by the Physical Self Description Questionnaire (PSDQ, Marsh 1994). To analyze the interaction effects for each factor of the physical self-concept (gender and age involvement), MANOVA (Multivariate Analysis of Variance) and correlation was calculated. The significance level was chosen to be 10%. The differences in evaluation of self-esteem were revealed by age. Self-esteem was found to be more positive in younger adolescent basketball players than in older players regardless of gender (p< 0.1).
