Ability Test includes three components'—an obstacle race,
a basketball throw for distance, and a standing broad jump.
A composite score on the motor ability test was derived by
weighting of each item.
Statistical treatment of data included application of
the Pearson Product-Moment Zero order method of correlation
to determine the relationship between body cathexis and
motor performance. A two-factor analysis of variance and
Duncan's Multiple Range Test were calculated to ascertain
whether or not differences existed among ethnic groups and
grade levels in body cathexis scores and composite motor
ability scores.
Results revealed no significant correlation between
body cathexis scores and motor ability scores and no
significant differences among ethnic groups and grade levels
in body cathexis. In motor ability performance, Negroes
were superior to whites and Mexican-Americans, and ninth-,
and eighth-graders surpassed seventh-graders to a
statistically significant degree.
Conclusions based on the results are as follows:
1. There appears to be no significant relationship
between body cathexis and motor performance as measured
by the instruments of the study.
