宝宝都是颜控！长得丑小孩都不理你

A study published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology found that children, like adults, inherently trust good-looking people more than unattractive ones.

一份发表于《心理学前沿》杂志的研究发现，孩子和成年人一样会本能地更信任长相好看的人而非缺少魅力的人。

For the study, a team of Chinese researchers recruited groups of 8-, 10-, and 12-year-olds, with 33 to 34 kids in each group (a similarly sized group of college students served as a control). These pint-size volunteers viewed a series of 200 unfamiliar faces, categorizing each one as trustworthy, untrustworthy, or neither; a month later, they came back to view the same faces, this time rating them on attractiveness.

为了开展本项研究，中国研究团队招募了一群8岁、10岁和12岁大的孩子，每组33至34人（数量相当的大学生组成控制组）。小志愿者们观看了一系列200个不熟悉的面孔，将它们分为“值得信任的”、“不值得信任的”和“无法判断的”；一个月之后，他们又回来看了同样的面孔，这次根据魅力值为它们划分等级。

Across age groups, the two judgments were closely linked — the more attractive faces, in general, were also considered more trustworthy. It's one more in a pile of similar findings about how kids make appearance-based judgments: Past research has shown, for example, that preschool-age children seek out more attractive peers as playmates, and that they prefer to rely on better-looking people as sources of information. Even kids as young as 3 can read a person's face to make assumptions about their character.
