Improving self-esteem by improving physical attractiveness.

Many characteristics comprise a person's personality:
achievement orientation, interest to be sociable,
aggressiveness, need for order, disposition, and so on. One of
the most important personality characteristics in every person's
life isself-esteem, which can be defined in terms of cognitive
generalizations derived from past experiences. Since people are
not isolated from their environment, a person's experiences
impact his or herself-esteem. Since a person's physical
attractiveness is known to be a major factor in his or her
experiences, it is logical (as well as empirically documented)
to be a substantial influence onself-esteem. The research shows
that improving a physical trait improves attitude, personality,
and self-esteem. Likewise, improving physical attractiveness
improves interpersonal interactions. These more positive
interactions are internalized intrapersonally (within a person),
with direct, corresponding impact on the person'sself-esteem.
