What makes a person


attractive/beautiful?
Physical Self

• The physical self refers to the body.


• It is the tangible aspect of the person that
can be directly observed and examined
(Singh,2017).
What is BEAUTY
• Beauty is the quality of being physically attractive
and the qualities in a person or a thing that give
pleasure to the senses or the mind.

• Beauty, traditionally, was among the ultimate


values along with goodness, truth, and justice.
BEAUTY as an objective quality
St. Augustine - Beauty is something that gives delight
because it is beautiful.

Plato - Objects are found beautiful because they reflect


the idea of beauty that already exists in the realm of
form.

Aristotle - forms of beauty are order, symmetry, and


definiteness that can be demonstrated by mathematical
sciences.
BEAUTY as a personal preference
David Hume - Beauty is no quality in things themselves:
It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them,
and each mind perceives a different beauty.

Immanuel Kant – “The judgment of taste is therefore not


a judgment of cognition, and is consequently not logical
but aesthetical,
Is beauty subjective or
objective?
Psychology of Beauty
Cognitive bias - which is an error in reasoning,
evaluating, remembering, or any other mental process
that is often a result of holding on to one’s preferences
and beliefs regardless of contrary information.

Halo Effect - refers to the tendency of people to rate


attractive individuals more favourably for their
personality traits or characteristics as compared to those
who are less attractive.
Culture of Beauty
Culture has a significant impact on how a person feels
about himself or herself, as well as his or her body image.

Body image is generally defined as how one thinks and


feels toward one’s body.

Ideal standards of body sizes are culturally specific


Importance of Physical Beauty
Physical Beauty - “the degree to which a person’s
physical traits are considered pleasing or beautiful.”

Physical beauty standards differ from one person to


another

A self-image problem happens when your looks do not


match your beauty standards.
To have a positive self-image and a higher self-esteem,
you must fix your false beliefs about physical
attractiveness first.
