In two independent studies, objective measures of self‐concept and selfesteem were assessed relative to the primary indicators of self‐esteem or selfconcept in human figure drawings, size, area, etc. The results of both studies showed that when groups were differentiated significantly on either self‐concept or self‐esteem, the size of a figure drawn was not related to the level of self‐concept or self‐esteem.
