| So, if a 6 is standing next to a 10, she looks like a 4. So, right, that's going to be an issue. | |
| A similar dynamic can be observed in workplace settings where good-looking employees face a greater level of hostility from colleagues and superiors of the same sex. | |
| Furthermore, physically attractive candidates are typically less successful in job interviews with interviews of the same sex, and this is believed to be because they are seen as a threat, right? | |
| Everybody knows the wife, the husband, the successful husband, If the secretary is very attractive, the wife is angry or upset. | |
| And women in the business world are often competing for the high-status men, and women don't want to hire more attractive women because then they might lose out to the competition for the high-status men. | |
| People often make positive trait inferences upon initial encounters with good-looking people, such as assuming good-looking people are more intelligent, healthy, and kind. | |
| There are also many undesirable traits that are automatically assumed to accompany physical attractiveness. | |
| Good-looking people can often give off the initial impression of being self-centered, entitled, incompetent, and promiscuous, at least according to others, right? | |
| So, do attractive people really have an easy in a life? | |
| So, workplace disadvantages alone can have a profound effect In life, this is because approximately 50% of our co-workers in the average workplace are expected to be those of the same sex for obvious reasons. | |
| Therefore, the advantage of being good-looking may be more or less offset by the accompanying disadvantages. | |
| In other words, the men might promote you, but the women will sabotage you. | |
| So that's a problem as a whole. | |
| So, yeah, I mean, the sentencing disparities are wild. | |
| Let's see here. | |
| Sentencing disparities attract physically, let's say physically attractive. | |
| All right, the impact of physical appearance on legal proceedings. | |
| Physical appearance has been found to have a significant impact on sentencing decisions in the U.S. justice system. | |
| Attractive defendants tend to receive more lenient sentences, while those considered unattractive are more likely to receive harsher sentences. | |
| So there's a big, a big bias. | |
| Researchers found that defendants who appeared more trustworthy based on their facial features were more likely to receive shorter prison sentences. | |
| I don't think there's any particular data here. | |
| This is just an overview. | |
| I'll try one more and see if we can get... | |
| Some more details. | |
| Disable my ad blocker. | |
| I don't think I will. | |
| I don't think I will. | |
| Oh. | |
| All right. | |
| We can do a PDF, I guess. | |
| Ah, yes. | |
| Attractiveness in the criminal justice system. | |
| Research to date has generally found that fortune favors the beautiful, with studies finding attractive individuals have better health outcomes. | |
| Ah, I told you that was the case. | |
| As well as increased reproductive success, obviously, as it pertains to criminal justice, research suggests that physical attractiveness tends to afford individuals more lenient in the criminal justice system. | |
| Beaver. | |
| Oh, I betcha that's Kevin Beaver. | |
| Love that guy. | |
| Examined how physical attractiveness was related to involvement in criminal activity, arrest, conviction, incarceration, and probation. | |
| Researchers found that people who were considered attractive were less likely to engage in criminal behavior, of course, and less likely to be arrested or convicted. | |
| Examining waves 1 through 3 of blah, blah, blah, data set, the relationship between attractiveness and involvement in criminal behavior, including property, drug, and violent crimes. | |
| The researchers found participant attractiveness remained relatively stable from early adolescence into early adulthood. | |
| Sorry, that's not entirely clear. | |
| I sounded confident, and I'm like, well, what does that actually mean? | |
| I'm looking for... | |
| It's a higher, but I'm just curious what the actual numbers are. | |
| I'm looking for a table. | |
| I'm looking for a table. | |
| Oh, there we go. | |
| Descriptive statistics. | |
| I should just get AI to summarize this. | |
| That's probably the way to go. | |
| All right, let's try one more. | |
| Try more, because this isn't abstract. | |
| Yeah, yeah, yeah. | |
| I don't care about your stinking cookies. | |
| All right. | |
| I'm looking for method. | |
| I don't care about your method. | |
| I'm caring about your results. | |
| Oh, that's a lot of numbers, man. | |
| All right. | |
| So, again, you can look up the numbers yourself in general. | |
| But, yeah, PDFs of, like, many pages are a challenge. | |
| Are a challenge. | |
| Physical attractiveness of 74 defendants in criminal court. | |
| Let's see here. | |
| The more attractive the defendant, the less severe the sentence imposed. | |
| So, I mean, if you have attractive kids, they're less likely to become criminals. | |
| So, there's reasons why somebody might want to sue someone who faked their level of attractiveness. | |
| So, it's a very real thing. |
