Abstract
The accuracy of self-reported weight and the motivation of distorted reporting were studied among 169 female and 101 male college students. Although subjects were moderately accurate in their weight estimates, errors reflected women's underreporting, men's overreporting, and heavier persons' underreporting. With body mass controlled, most motivational variables had little explanatory value.
