Beauty Standards Statistics

The document discusses several studies on beauty standards and their effects: 1) Attractive children and adults receive more favorable treatment - teachers have higher expectations of attractive children, attractive job applicants receive higher salaries, and attractive individuals are found guilty less often and receive lighter sentences in court. 2) The "bias for beauty" exists in many social situations, as people react more positively to physically attractive people. 3) There is a widespread belief that attractive people possess desirable traits beyond physical appearance, such as intelligence and competence, even though this is an irrational stereotype. 4) Body image issues negatively impact many women's confidence and ability to perform tasks like job interviews. Social media exacerbates unrealistic beauty standards

Beauty standards

statistics
BY MOLLY GREGG
Studies show:

Attractive children are more popular, both with classmates and teachers. Teachers
give higher evaluations to the work of attractive children and have higher
expectations of them (which has been shown to improve performance).
Attractive applicants have a better chance of getting jobs, and of receiving higher
salaries. (one US study found that taller men earned around $600 per inch more than
shorter executives.)
In court, attractive people are found guilty less often. When found guilty, they receive
less severe sentences.
The 'bias for beauty' operates in almost all social situations all experiments show we
react more favourably to physically attractive people.
We also believe in the 'what is beautiful is good' stereotype an irrational but deep-
seated belief that physically attractive people possess other desirable characteristics
such as intelligence, competence, social skills, confidence even moral virtue. (The
good fairy/princess is always beautiful; the wicked stepmother is always ugly)

Body image and its effect on the
workplace
According to a new report commissioned by Dove, a staggering 89 per cent of
Australian women are opting to cancel plans, job interviews or other important
engagements simply because of how they look.
For Australia, the data revealed that on a global level, we are on par with the
UK in terms of body confidence ratings in the world with just 20 per cent
admitting to having high self esteem.
The worst placegetter was Japan, with just eight per cent of women liking the
way they looked.
For Australia, the data revealed that on a global level, we are on par with the
UK in terms of body confidence ratings in the world with just 20 per cent
The report suggests that the obsession with body image is having a serious
impact on how women conduct themselves in the workplace- with just five in
10 sticking to their opinions or decisions based on how they look that day.
Effects of social media on beauty
standard

Dove surveyed 1,027 women between the ages of 18 and 64.The results
showed that women are more than twice as likely to say that their
conception of beauty is shaped by women in the public domain and
social media (29 percent and 25 percent, respectively) than they were
before they entered high school (11 percent and 10 percent,
respectively).
2014 Dove study found that women wrote 5 million disparaging tweets
about beauty, most of which were about themselves. Much of the survey
sample (78 percent) felt that the portrayal of women on social media is
unrealistic. But 82 percent of women also said they believed social media
can change prevailing standards of beauty.
