To explore the influence of height and weight on self-esteem and general self-efficacy of
contemporary college students, scales were used for 436 college students (273 girls). The results
demonstrated that when both height and weight as predictor, then neither can predict the level of selfesteem. Only the height, but not weight can positively predict the level of general self-efficacy, and this
effect only work on girls, but not boys. These results demonstrated that, on the one hand, in the era of
diversified values, body attributes are no longer used as the basis for contemporary college students to
judge whether they are worthy of love by themselves, on the other hand, the confidence of contemporary
female college students to cope with the general environment is more easily affected by their body height.
