Abstract

The study aims to research the influence of the gender characteristics of boys and girls on their self-esteem regarding their physical development, health status, as well as to determine the relationship between the level of self-esteem and their belonging to the psychological type of personality (masculine, feminine, androgynous) among respon- dents who engage in and do not engage in sports. The study involved students in grades 5-11 (638 subjects). To study the level of self-esteem of the physical development of schoolchildren, a test questionnaire by “Self-Description of Physical Development”, a test questionnaire by “Masculinity-Femininity”, cluster analysis, and methods of mathemat- ical statistics were used. It was determined that the self-esteem of the physical development of schoolchildren, for the most part, has a high and overstated level, which is 80-85% of the maximum score. The structure of age groups of boys and girls was determined according to the manifestation of psychological gender signs using cluster anal- ysis. Based on the data obtained, it can be stated that boys and girls have certain common gender characteristics. However, there are distinctive features are more numerous. The data obtained are the basis for the systematization of data on the gender approach in physical education, the definition of limiting and stimulating factors affecting the formation of the individual physical culture of people with various signs of psychological gender.
