Schönheit und Vergebung

Eine Studie zu unser Wahrnehmung von schönen Leuten:

Two studies examined the influence of a female offender’s level of physical attractiveness on forgiveness. In Study 1, an apology offered to a male participant (role-playing a victim) by an attractive female offender was more effective at increasing forgiveness compared to the same apology offered by a less attractive offender. In contrast, female participants displayed the opposite pattern, responding more positively to the less attractive offender. Study 2 revealed that this effect was mediated by participants‘ judgments about the quality of the apology received. Male participants judged the apology as higher in quality when it was offered by the attractive offender, whereas female participants rated the apology as higher quality when it was offered by the less attractive offender.

Würde also bedeuten, dass schöne Frauen sich mehr erlauben können, während Frauen bei schönen Männern skeptischer sind. Das erklärt, die Skeptik vieler weiblicher Leser dieses Blogs 😉

Eine Erklärung wäre, dass Männer bei schönen Frauen nicht viel zu verlieren hatten, weil sie die Kosten einer Schwangerschaft abwälzen können. Die Frauen hingegen hatten, weil der Mann auch für andere Frauen attraktiv war, eher etwas zu verlieren.
