Description
This research examines the relationship between physical activity and self-esteem. I hypothesize that there is a positive correlation between the two variables. Therefore, a survey was administered via social networks to a college campus. The survey consisted of twenty questions, ten of which covered each variable respectively, along with two demographic questions, which was team affiliation and biological sex. The sampling technique that was used is proportionate stratified sampling. It was found that participants were fairly neutral in terms of physical activity and self-esteem with a slight positive curve when looking at the correlation. It appears that while there is a slight positive link between the two variables, this research is not conclusive enough to determine a casual correlation.
