In the first experiment, subjects were asked to look at a series of photographs of men of similar age and dress, including some with shaved heads.
Then, they were asked to rate the men in terms of how powerful, influential and authoritative they looked. When the numbers were tallied, the shaved heads won.
In a second experiment, Mannes tried to control for other physical features that could convey dominance by showing his subjects the images of four men, but in two different versions: one with their hair, and one with their hair digitally removed.
Again, the images of men without hair were perceived as more dominant — and, much to Mannes’ surprise, also taller and stronger.
For his third experiment, Mannes avoided all visual cues and offered subjects physical descriptions of men, including whether they had hair, thinning hair or a shaved head.
Again, the shaved men came out on top.
However, there were downsides. Men with shaved heads were rated lower in attractiveness and also seen as being older. But they nonetheless scored higher than men with thinning hair, who were ranked lower in almost all categories.
