what would you think of this lady's physical attractiveness if she exhibited bad personal traits?
if you exhibit positive traits such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be perceived as a good looking person, for a new study has found that the perception of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person's personality.
the study, led by gary w. lewandowski, jr, found that people who exhibit negative traits, such as unfairness and rudeness, appear to be less physically attractive to observers.
in the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information on personality traits.
