COMPLETE Intro Psychology Course - ALL TOPICS - Attractiveness (Intro Psych Tutorial #195)

www.psychexamreview.com In this video I discuss attractiveness. I begin by discussing the halo effect; the idea that physically attractive people are often perceived as having other positive qualities such as being smarter or more outgoing. Next I consider which physical traits are universally considered attractive. Symmetry represents an important marker of health and the ability to produce healthy offspring. Attractive facial features vary by gender and female faces which are "cute" are considered attractive, while male faces which are "dominant" are considered more attractive. A waist-to-hip ratio of .7 is considered attractive in females, while in males a hip-to-shoulder ratio of .9 is attractive. Lastly I briefly consider non-physical aspects of attractiveness (personality traits and intelligence) and how self-disclosure can strengthen relationships and increase attraction.
