Astrid Hopfensitz studies the beauty bias and who is falling prey to it.
Astrid Hopfensitz wrote an article in The Conversation on the beauty bias and whether there might be some truth to it. You can read it here.
The academic paper that this is based on was published in the Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization. It shows that individuals who are rated as more beautiful are also consistently believed to be more trustworthy. However, by measuring actual trustworthiness of people, the study reveals that this is a wrong belief. The studys results stress how easy it is to be influenced by beauty in others and that this is an important bias to be aware of in business and economic interactions.
