Sažetak
A research was implemented in order to determine gender differences with regards to the physical self-image and motivation type in relation to standard dances performance among student population and in order to determine the differences in the self-image dimensions. The above defined research was implemented using Multidimensional Body Image Questionnaire (MBIQ) and intrinsic and/or extrinsic approaches to learning standard dances (through Task and Ego Orientation in the Sport Questionnaire – TEOSQ. The questionnaire was distributed among students who are successful or less successful in performing standard dances. 60 respondents (39 male and 21 female) took part in the research. The respondents were divided into groups in accordance with their success in standard dances performance: tango, English Waltz and Viennese Waltz. In accordance with the independent-sample t-test, there are significant gender differences referring to selfimage in relation to the following dimensions: strength, joy, flexibility and masculinity. However, there are no significant gender differences referring to extrinsic and/or intrinsic approaches to learning standard dances. Women were much more successful in tango, English and Viennese Waltz performance than men. There was no significant difference between successful and unsuccessful female dancers as regards to self- image. Attractiveness dimension significantly differs between the group of successful and unsuccessful men dancers. This confirms the hypothesis on the gender specific self-image which influences successful standard dances performance.
