Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the hierarchy of the intensity of the impact of the totality of factors (self-assessments of the face, satisfaction, concern about the appearance) on the subjective well-being of the person and its components. At the first stage, the intensity of the impact of concern, satisfaction with the appearance on the self-esteem of the face were determined. The second stage tested the hypothesis of the hierarchical intensity of the effect of three predictors on the subjective assessment of well-being. The study involved 188 people (~35% male and ~65% female) aged 18 to 45 years (M = 26.6), The distribution of study participants by individual self-assessment levels is as follows: ~ 32% have a low and below average level; 34.6% — average level; 33.5% are distinguished by a high and above average level of assessment of their face (c2 = 166.435 at p = 0.000).Methods used: 1. Questionnaire “Self-assessment of appearance,” developed by V.A. Labunskaya. 2. The scale “Subjective well-being” in the adaptation of V.M. Sokolova. 3. Questionnaire “Attitude to its appearance: satisfaction and concern,” developed by E.V. Kapitanova, V.A. Labunskaya. Mathematical procedures: c2, Kraskel-Wallace criteria, Mann-Whitney U, linear and step-by-step regression analysis (IBM SPPS Statistical 23.0).Results of the study: a combination of predictors (satisfaction, concern about the appearance, self-esteem of the face) has a significant but insufficiently intense effect on subjective well-being; face self-esteem affects the most intensely; the expression of satisfaction with the appearance affects only certain components of subjective well-being; concern about the appearance does not affect both the integral subjective assessment of well-being and the assessments of its components.
