Abstract
Abstract Ratings of the physical attractiveness of 1,006 11- to 12-year-old children were obtained, and the association between physical attractiveness and teachers' judgments of these children on a number of measures was examined. There appeared to be reasonable agreement between teachers' ratings of children's physical attractiveness, judges' ratings, interviewer's ratings, and children's self-ratings of attractiveness. Teachers' ratings of attractiveness were significantly correlated with their judgments of children's sociability, popularity, academic brightness, confidence, and qualities of leadership. Teachers revealed a systematic tendency to rate girls higher than boys, and significant sex differences were observed in teachers' ratings of attractiveness, academic brightness, sociability, and confidence.
