The present study investigated relationships between the self-evaluations of each parts in the body, depressive mood, the sense of health, and the self-esteem, focusing on the evaluation of posture. We conducted a survey of 332 undergraduate students.Factor analysis of the results led to identification of the following five factors: (I) mood and sense of health; (II) thickness and profound; (III) length; (IV) bending; (V) state of shoulder. To evaluate the gender difference, a t-test was applied to the self-evaluation of body image. Female students evaluated more bright in facial expression than male students, females were larger than males in hip size, females had thicker legs than males in their leg, their waist and their arm.Analysis of variance was used for the self-evaluation of posture, the Zung depressive scale, the scale of the sense of health, and the self-esteem scale. The group with the lowest evaluation of their own posture was significantly higher on the Zung depressive scale and lower on the scale of the sense of health than the higher evaluation group.Self-evaluation of the human body may affect emotions (depressive mood, sense of health, self-esteem) and affect awareness through posture.
