Abstract
Results of the present study indicate that over a 3-month period, the multidimensional Body Esteem Scale (BES) exhibits high test-retest reliability. Findings further indicate that the BES is not susceptible to a tendency to unrealistically deny negative self-attributes and is only very slightly susceptible to a tendency to unrealistically attribute positive self-attributes. Overall, the present study supports the continued use of the BES as a reliable and valid measure of male and female body esteem.

Factor analysis of the scale revealed that body esteem is a multidimensional construct which differs for males and females, and the three aspects of males' body esteem were more highly intercorrelated than those of the females.
