这篇综述表明，通过对人的感知研究建立起来的外表吸引力刻板印象并不像经常使用的总结短语“漂亮就是好”所暗示的那样强烈或普遍。尽管在这些研究中，研究对象认为漂亮的人比不漂亮的人更具有良好的人格特质和更成功的生活结果，但这种“美即好”效应的平均幅度是中等的，而且在不同的研究中，这种效应的强度也有很大差异。与我们的内隐人格理论框架一致，这种差异的很大一部分是由被试被要求做出的推断的具体内容来解释的：在社会能力指标上，被试对有吸引力和没有吸引力的目标的感知差异最大；能力、适应能力和智力能力的中介；在诚信和关心他人方面几乎为零。外表吸引力刻板印象的强度也随着研究的其他属性而变化，包括个性化信息的存在。
This review demonstrates that the physical attractiveness stereotype established by studies of person perception is not as strong or general as suggested by the often-used summary phrase what is beautiful is good. Although subjects in these studies ascribed more favorable personality traits and more successful life outcomes to attractive than unattractive targets, the average magnitude of this beauty-is-good effect was moderate, and the strength of the effect varied considerably from study to study. Consistent with our implicit personality theory framework, a substantial portion of this variation was explained by the specific content of the inferences that subjects were asked to make: The differences in subjects' perception of attractive and unattractive targets were largest for indexes of social competence; intermediate for potency, adjustment, and intellectual competence; and near zero for integrity and concern for others. The strength of the physical attractiveness stereotype also varied as a function of other attributes of the studies, including the presence of individuating information.
