Abstract

It is established by many researchers that morphological and mental features of the person form a complex system of ambiguous connections and interdependences. This system includes also connections between external features of the person and its self-estimation. Some studies show that this aspect of self-estimation plays especially important role in formation of psychological features of children and adolescents. High importance of their own appearance for children and teenagers dictates a necessity to search some connections between anthropological and psychological aspects of self-estimation of the person. The interdisciplinary approach in such case seems to be the only choice because psychological and anthropological features of an individual are simultaneously under study.
