In this work, data on correlations between anthropometric and psychological features in four samples are compared: 1) Moscow high school students (25 boys and 50 girls at the age of 16 - 17); 2) Chinese students studying in Moscow (24 boys aged 19 to 27); 3) the students from different countries of the Peoples Friendship University of Russia – PFUR (15 boys aged 21 to 31 and 10 girls aged 21 to 24); 4) the elderly women from one of the villages of the Ryazan region (27 women aged 41 to 85). It is revealed that the trends of associations between somatic and psychological features in the studied samples vary considerably. For high school students and for students from China significant negative correlations between absolute body size and self-esteem were found, but the reasons for such associations in both samples are different. Foreign students studying in the PFUR, in contrast, are demonstrating a positive relationship between high self-esteem, body length, body weight and BMI. In the sample of the elderly Russian women links between self-esteem and somatic features are not detected. In two samples gender differences in the level and direction of morphological and psychological ties were also detected. It can be assumed that the associations between somatic features and self-esteem largely depend on the ethnicity, age and gender and can be considered as an important general characteristic in the anthropological description of a particular group.
