Most people assume that being physically attractive is a good thing, but this study showed just how good it can be.
Undergraduates viewed pictures of men and women representing several levels of attractiveness.5 Based on the photograph alone, they rated the more attractive people as being more kind, outgoing, modest, sensitive, sociable, and interesting.
But the positive perceptions didn’t end there. Participants also viewed more attractive people as having better jobs, better marriages, and better lives. These results demonstrate our strong bias toward physical beauty and the stereotypical beliefs we ascribe to more attractive individuals.
Just an "undergraduate Bias" thought.
