Abstract
The physical attractiveness stereotype affects evaluation of individuals within significant life contexts (e.g., friendships, romantic relationships, school, and work). More positive judgments of attractive than unattractive persons translate to better treatment of attractive than unattractive individuals. Attractive persons also display more positive behaviors and self-perceptions of themselves than unattractive persons, possibly as a result of this differential treatment or because the behavioral differences are inherent among individuals varying in attractiveness. Origins of the stereotype are evident during infancy, but more research is needed to understand the origins of the behavioral differences.
