STUDY ON SELF-ESTEEM AT PRACTITIONERS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES

This study aims to establish the level of self-esteem at young people who are active and who practice regularly physical activities. The methodology used in this study is an instrument developed in 1965 by the american sociologist Morris Rosenberg, Self-Esteem Scale. This is a ten item scale which reveals information about what people think about their own person, about how satisfied are about themselves, if they think they have qualities that are equally proficient in doing things as well as others or better than others, if they feel positive about themselves, etc. We initially applied this instrument in May 2015 in a pilot study having 56 participants from Romania and we found significant differences of opinion related to subjects' gender and age so we consider interesting to observe if applied on a larger number of subjects who practice regularly physical activities what changes could appear. In June 2015 participated at the study 123 students from Romania and the results obtained aimed to answer the question if both male and female subjects are active people, what makes them have a different level of self-esteem.
