Abstract	The current society emphasizes physical appearance and physical fitness. Individual's self-esteem has been shown to be linked with physical appearance. Methods: A random sample comprising of 100 male and 100 female (N = 200) adolescents was selected. The subjects were administered the Current Thoughts Scale and the Dieting Beliefs Scale for assessing their state self-esteem and their weight locus of control. Results: Boys had significantly higher appearance self-esteem than girls, while girls had significantly higher dieting belief in comparison to boys. Performance self-esteem was positively and significantly correlated with social self-esteem and appearance self-esteem in the total sample, and the sub-samples comprising of boys and girls.
