Can self-estimates of body weight and height be used in place of measurements for college students?
Article Abstract:
A study on the accuracy of self-estimates of height and body weight of college students reveals small absolute estimation errors. Both females and males underestimate weight and overestimate height. Females estimate height more accurately and weight less accurately than males. The knowledge that the estimation would be checked by measurement generates more accurate estimations.
