• 容貌姣好的人能夠擁有較高的薪水、較好的業績(TVBS新聞，2012)。許多學術的實證研究也說明擁有姣好容貌的人，似乎擁有許多優勢(e.g. Harper, 2000)。相對的，是和外貌相關的污名化現象，部分研究指出，有肥胖問題，或是身高不高的人，會在青少年時期受到不平等待遇，甚至會影響到未來職場的表現(e.g. Persico, Postlewaite, & Silverman, 2004)。然而，這樣的優勢真的是姣好的容貌所帶來的嗎？外貌條件不佳會產生不好的效應？本研究使用「青少年個人生活學業評量」國一學生調查資料，以結構方程模式，試圖分析青少年在班上的受歡迎程度是否會受到外表吸引力等外貌因素影響，並探討自尊所扮演的角色。結果顯示，青少年的自尊可能扮演著中介的角色。自尊對外表吸引力等外貌因素與受歡迎程度之間的中介效果有性別差異，外貌因素不分性別均會對受歡迎程度有顯著影響，但僅有男性會透過自尊的中介效果影響。
• Good-looking people are able to obtain higher salary and better business achievement. (TVBS News, 2012) Academic research also indicates that people with physical attractiveness seem to have more advantage. In contrast, some research reveals that people with obesity or a tiny figure suffer from stigmatization, treated unfairly during adolescence, which could even influence their career performance in the future. (e.g. Persico, Postlewaite, & Silverman, 2004) However, are these strengths really brought by their physical attractiveness? Does physical unattractiveness cause negative effects? This study attempts to analyze whether popularity among adolescents correlates with factors relating to physical attractiveness, and to discuss the role that self-esteem plays. The results indicate that self-esteem serves as a mediator and has a different impact between the two genders on the mediation effect between appearance factors and popularity. Physical appearance has a significant effect on popularity in each gender, while the mediation effect of self-esteem is found only for male students.
