praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and
healthier,have better marriages and have more
respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for
finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告).But in the executive(主管领导) circle,beauty can
become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on
his way up the executive ladder,it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were thought as having more
integrity(正直) than plainer men;effort and ability were thought to account for their
success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have
less integrity than unattractive ones;their success
was attributed(归功于) not to ability but to factors such as
luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have
more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.
Interestingly,though,the rise of
the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal
relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able?An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and
an attractive man more masculine(有男子气概的)than
the less attractive ones. Thus,an attractive woman has
an advantage in traditionally female jobs,but an
attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the
“masculine” qualities required.
This is true even in politics. “When the only clue is
how he or she looks,people treat men and women differently,”says Anne Bowman,who recently
published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates(候选人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two
groups of photographs,one of men and one of women,in order of attractiveness. The students were told the
photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank
them again,in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males utterly
defeated unattractive men,but the women who had been ranked most
attractive invariably(始终如一地) received the fewest votes.
