The Effects Of Physical Attractiveness And Empathy On Adjustment And Perceived Adjustment With College Students., Dorothy E. Berg

Theses and Dissertations

The Problem

A theoretical framework of the physical attractiveness literature to date was presented in the present study. Within this framework, the effects of physical attractiveness on subjects' perception of adjustment were tested in an experimental design using 94 college students. The effects of subject empathy on subjects' perceptions were also tested as it had been suggested by a previous study (Crouse & Mehrabian 1977) that empathy mitigated the effects of physical attractiveness.

Four confederate actors whose physical attractiveness was varied cosmetically were used as ostensible "Peace Corps" applicants in individual 3-minute simulated interviews. A control group was established who …
