- Title
Muscular Strength Shapes the Personality as Well as the Body.
- Abstract
The article presents a summary of the study "Muscular strength: A predictor of personality in males," by L. A. Tucker, originally published in "The Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness." The study found that muscular strength was related to body cathexis and extraversion. Stronger men were found to be more satisfied with their body parts and were more socially outgoing.
