Abstract
This study investigated the influence of physical appearance and sex stereotyping on adults' perceptions of infants. College students rated photographs of infants who varied in physical attractiveness (cuteness), facial expression, and labeled sex. Students generally gave more favorable ratings to cute infants, to infants showing positive facial expressions, and to actual male infants. Labeled sex did not bias ratings. Discussion focuses on explanations for these findings and possible influences of infants' physical attractiveness and facial expression on social interactions with adults.
