Hi Dr. L

After meeting with the hospital people yesterday, another idea--oh no, not another one.

We have decided to quit using the self-esteem scale as a measurement tool.  It is not 
a good
measurement tool for what we are trying to measure.  Instead we have switched to a 
measure of
self-efficacy.  This may be more in line with what we are discussing as self-efficacy 
would, I
think, have a bearing on self-esteem and its possible effects.  This would go along 
with
"learned helplessness" and operant conditioning (Doc, operant, not classical, right?). 
 And,
IMO, conditioned behavior would affect the physical body.  We know it affects the 
psyche as
learned helplessness is one of the factors in depression.  If you want more discussion 
on this
though it might be better to post privately, not too many on the list may be 
interested in the
thought processes of a researcher--or a weird thinker, whatever the term may be. <g>
