Attitude toward physical education and self-concepts of asthmatic and nonasthmatic children taught by physical education specialists.
50 asthmatic and 741 nonasthmatic children in Grades 4 to 6 were compared on attitudes toward physical education and self-concept. Data were collected using the Children's Attitude Inventory Toward Physical Education, a paired-comparison inventory for indicating preferences among 10 school subjects, and the Children's Self-concept Scale. Analysis of variance and X2 indicated no significant differences between asthmatic and nonasthmatic children on the three measures.
