HANGZHOU (Web Desk) – Chinese psychologists found that men were more likely to accept an unfair offer if it came from a beautiful woman, according to the paper published in Frontiers of Neuroscience.
It suggested that better-looking people are frequently rated higher in factors such as intelligence and potential for success, reported Telegraph.
To study the question, the team at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou recruited 21 men aged between 18 and 26.
They were presented a photograph of a Chinese woman – previously rated as attractive or unattractive by another group of men – along with her offer to split a small sum of money.
The subjects – monitored for brain activity and reaction time – were asked to decide whether to accept an offer from each woman.
“Results showed that the men were more likely to accept unfair offers when the woman was more attractive than when she was unattractive,” wrote the researchers.
