Previously In December 2014, Medical News Today reported on a study suggesting people with average-looking faces appear more trustworthy, while research from September 2013 found men with wide faces may cause selfishness in others. A prior research showed that attractive men may attain greater height in the society
To reach their findings, the team measured the bodies of 63 men and 62 women using a 3D body scanner. The participants were given attractiveness scores based on their body measurements - including waist-to-chest ratio for men, waist-to-hip ratio for women and slimness.
Participants also completed a personality questionnaire, from which the researchers obtained information on their attitudes and behavior toward selfishness and inequality. As an extra measure, the subjects took part in an experiment, in which they were given money and asked to decide how much they wanted to share with another individual.
The researchers found that men with higher scores on attractiveness were more selfish and less egalitarian than men with lower attractiveness scores. Women with higher attractiveness scores, however, were just as generous and egalitarian than those with lower scores.
The researchers however suggested that the study does not totally mean attractive men are always selfish as they could have generous trait.
