Children's self-perceptions and sources of physical competence information: a cluster analysis

Article Abstract:

A study cross-comparing childrens' age, psychological differences, and sources of information on their own physical competence revealed four profiles. The project included measures of competitive trait anxiety (CTA), perceived physical competence (PC), and general self-esteem (SE). Children in group 1 scored high in CTA and low in PC, and preferred pregame anxiety as a source of negative information, while those in group 4 were older, with similar profiles, and preferred social comparison criteria.
