Can you be too beautiful?It is hardly a problem that most of us have to bother—as much as we might like to dream that it were the case.
Yet the blessings and curses of beauty have been a long-standing interest in psychology.Do those blessed with shiny faces and an attractive body live in a cloud of appreciation—or does it sometimes pay to be ordinary?
Combing through decades of findings,social psychologists Lisa Slattery Walker and Tonya Frevert at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte have reviewed all the evidence to date and their conclusions are not what you might expect.
At the most basic level,beauty might be thought to carry a kind of halo(光环) around it;we see that someone has one good quality,and by association,our deep mind may assume that they have other good ones too.
Even in the courts,a pleasing appearance can work its magic.Attractive criminals are likely to get less strict sentences,or to escape punishment entirely;attractive plaintiffs(原告),meanwhile,are more likely to win their case and get bigger financial settlements.“It’s an effect seen everywhere,” says Walker.
But if beauty pays in most circumstances,there are still situations where it can have opposite results.While attractive men may be considered better leaders,for instance,hidden sexist prejudices(偏见) can work against attractive women,making them less likely to be hired for high-level jobs that require power.And as you might expect,good-looking people of both sexes run into envy—one study found that if you are interviewed by someone of the same sex,they may be less likely to employ you if they judge that you are more attractive than they are.
