Women are more inclined to accept men's offers with attractive faces, this is the conclusion that Chinese scientists have reached. Experience has shown that appearance and sympathy in social talks can exceed healthy intelligence. The work was published in the "BS) magazine."
70 students from the Chinese University have participated in two economic experiments. Virtual male characters differed in appearance and sound, as well as at the level of sympathy. Some have told the participants that they like them, the others, whom no.
In the end of the ultimatum, women had to accept or reject the method proposed by men to divide a small amount of money between the "suggestive" and the third party. In the game of punishment, participants watched another person dividing money and determine how fair and whether it deserves to be punished.
The results showed that the offers of men with an attractive face or voice were more commonly accepted, even if they were unfair. The fair proposals of attractive men in the punishment game are perceived as especially reasonable. But if the attractive and "friendly" man behaved selfishly, it was perceived as a particularly sharp discrepancy and caused a negative response.
It is interesting that the impact was stronger than the appearance than for sound. However, the authors emphasize: The results depend on the context, and in real situations there may be different.
