Abstract

From a dialectic-interactional perspective, a review of the physical attractiveness research is completed in an attempt to examine a proposed relation between outer appearance and inner psychological characteristics. Four central assumptions about the potential effects of attractiveness relevant to individual development are specified and augmented by supporting social psychological research. The relationship between attractiveness and (a) social stereotyping, (b) social exchange, (c) internalized personality patterns, and (d) social behavior are reviewed. Arguments are advanced for future research on the interdependence of outer and inner developmental progressions under the rubric of a developmental social psychology of beauty.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
