Another experiment: arrange for a group of people to live in an environment with no mirrors or other ways to see themselves, for a long time. Compare with people exposed to mirrors. Ask detailed questions about estimates of attractiveness, weak points, feelings of dissatisfaction, self-doubt, inferiority etc.
But this is also hard to arrange.
There are probably people living somewhere in jungle without mirrors.
There might possibly be other differences between their lifestyle and ours besides the lack of mirrors.
