“美即是好”的刻板印象表明，有一个有吸引力的外表是非常重要的人的生活。身体吸引力作为一种重要的个人特质，以其明显的视觉特征为基础，对第一印象的形成，以及对后续评价和选择的影响起着至关重要的作用。然而，群体与群体成员之间的身体吸引力的情境差异却很少受到关注。基于这个原因，货车·奥施（Van Osch）等人提出并验证了一个群体被感知的身体吸引力大于其成员的平均吸引力（GA效应），而步行者（Walker）和沃尔（Vul）发现，作为群体成员的个体在群体背景下比在孤立的情况下被感知更有吸引力（啦啦队效应）。我们目前的工作是试图复制这两个影响的样本中的1005名中国参与者，以检查是否这样的影响也存在于中国，一个集体主义文化。参与者被要求对每个照片刺激和每个评级条件中呈现的吸引力程度进行评级，结果显示：（a）参与者对一组人的身体吸引力的评级显著高于其成员的平均吸引力（即，复制GA效应）;（B）参与者对个体的身体吸引力的评级在一个群体中比在单独的群体中更高（即，复制啦啦队效应）;以及（c）组规模越大，GA效应越大。这一验证性研究可能有助于理解人类的行为，判断和感知，根据GA效应和啦啦队效应在不同的背景下使用在中国。
The stereotype “what is beautiful is good” suggests that having an attractive physical appearance is very important to people’s lives. Physical attractiveness, as an important personal trait, plays vital roles for shaping one’s first impression, and for influencing one’s subsequent evaluation and selection, based on obvious visual features. However, the contextual difference of the physical attractiveness between a group and its group members has been given less attention. For this reason, Van Osch et al. proposed and tested that the perceived physical attractiveness of a group is greater than the average attractiveness of its members (GA-effect), while Walker and Vul found that an individual as a group member is perceived to be more attractive in group context than in isolation (cheerleader effect). Our present work seeks to replicate these two effects on a sample of 1005 Chinese participants to check whether such effects also exist in China, a collectivist culture. Participants were asked to rate the degree of attractiveness presented in each photo stimuli and in each rating condition, and the results show that: (a) the participants’ ratings of physical attractiveness of a group was significantly higher than the average attractiveness of its members (i.e., replicating the GA-effect); (b) the participants’ ratings of physical attractiveness of an individual was evaluated higher in a group than in isolation (i.e., replicating the cheerleader effect); and (c) the larger the group size, the larger the GA-effect. This validating study may aid in understanding human behavior, judgments, and perceptions according to the GA-effect and the cheerleader effect used in a different context in China.
