A recent study investigated how male facial attractiveness, vocal attractiveness, and expressions of social interest influence women’s decisions regarding fairness in economic games.
The findings revealed that women were more generous toward men who had attractive faces, appealing voices, and expressed interest in them.
The researchers hypothesized attractive male voices and faces would activate the beauty premium making female players give them more money.
Female recipients expected males expressing positive social interest to offer them more money than males expressing negative social interest.
The study confirmed the existence of the beauty premium and showed that a fictional face is sufficient to invoke it.
However, the game involved a decision about a very small amount of money and participants were exclusively young, female students.
