Summary/Abstract: Self-esteem is thinking about oneself. It is an attitude that builds mood, shapes behavior or relations with others. The basis of self-esteem are judgments and opinions about oneself. Elements that construct self-esteem are primarily acceptance and repulsion. The article contains the analysis of the answers of three groups (the pupils of a correctional institution, the pupils of a sports school and the people over 60 years old) referring to appearance, perception of oneself (others), position in a group (perception of leader’s features), gaining respect. The article focuses on indicating the basic information, considering the differences that are important for each group. Self-image and self-evaluation through the prism of physicality is an issue that accompanies people of all ages and life situations. As a rule, however, there are differences in the perception of certain – important – features that influence the image. Every person, in their own way, processes information about reality and at the same time assumes its appropriate image.
