25、ood-looking men have every advantage in life. But a new study suggests being handsome may not always work in a mans favour at least when it comes to his career. The research claims that attractive men are less likely to be given a job in a competitive workplace because they intimidate bosses. Its no
26、t always an advantage to be pretty, says Marko Pitesa, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland. It can backfire if you are perceived as a threat. Interestingly, in Pitesas study, it was male attractiveness in particular, rather than female beauty, that made the most difference. If the i
27、nterviewer expected to work with the candidate as part of a team, then he preferred good-looking men. However, if the interviewer saw the candidate as a potential competitor, the interviewer discriminated in favor of unattractive men. In the first experiment, 241 adults were asked to evaluate fictio

Interviewers were primed to either think of the candidate as a future co-operator or competitor, and they were given a computer-generated headshot that was either attrac
29、tive or unattractive. A second experiment involved 92 people in a lab. They were asked to evaluate future competitors or partners in a quiz game, based on credentials that included sample quiz answers, and they saw similar headshots. The patterns of discrimination based on perceived self-interest we
30、re the same.Another test opened up to include men interviewing women and women interviewing men. There was still a preference to cooperate with the attractive man and compete against the unattractive man. A final experiment used photographs of actual European business school students, vetted for att

The dominant theoretical perspective in the social sciences for several decades has been that biases and discrimination are caused by irratio
