Self-esteem encompasses how individuals evaluate themselves and is an important contributor to their success. Self-esteem has been traditionally measured using survey-based methodologies. However, surveys suffer from limitations such as retrospective recall and reporting biases, leading to a need for proactive measurement approaches. Our work uses smartphone sensors to predict self-esteem and is situated in a multimodal sensing study on college students for five weeks. We use theory-driven features, such as phone communications and physical activity to predict three dimensions, performance, social, and appearance self-esteem. We conduct statistical modeling including linear, ensemble, and neural network regression to measure self-esteem. Our best model predicts self-esteem with a high correlation (r) of 0.60 and low SMAPE of 7.26% indicating high predictive accuracy. We inspect the top features finding theoretical alignment; for example, social interaction significantly contributes to performance and appearance-based self-esteem, whereas, and physical activity is the most significant contributor towards social self-esteem. Our work reveals the efficacy of passive sensors for predicting self-esteem, and we situate our observations with literature and discuss the implications of our work for tailored interventions and improving wellbeing.
