ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of children's perception of body shape and body image on their negative emotions. The subjects were 345 3rd and 6th graders. Questionnaires were used to investigate the children's perception of their body shape and body image, and negative emotions. Data analyzed by SPSS-WIN program included mean, standard deviation, ANOVA, Scheffe's test and regression. Results were as follows. (1) The 6th graders perceived their body image more negatively than the 3rd graders did. (2) The children who perceived themselves more obesely had more negative body image and more negative emotions than those who did not. (3) There were interaction effects among the children's grade, sex and body shape perception on their body image perception. (4) The regression analysis demonstrated that children's perception of appearance was more influential on the negative emotions than their body shape perception.
