“…It is impossible to teach without communicating, so communicative had the highest mean in Table 1 as the teacher characteristic in this study as well. The results presented in Table 2 jointly suggest that communicative within the ideal teacher prototype stands for -well informed or knowledgeable, culture and norm-conscious, and wellbeing related production of authentic communications within the constraints of teacher role by a person pleasing in appearance -due to its significant and positive correlations with peer-assessed creativity, intelligence, knowledge, religiousness, physical attractiveness (see Talavas, Mavor, & Perrett, 2016), and wisdom. Wisdom is an attribute attached to high-quality teacher performance (see Arlin, 1999).…”

“…Many precursors of attitudes to sexual behavior can also affect perceived attractiveness and are included in models as control variables. Such factors include age (Mathes et al., ), sex, race, and ethnicity (Lewis, ), education (Talamas, Mavor, and Perrett, ), income (Kenrick et al., ), religiosity (Pasha‐Zaidi, ), and ideology (Price et al., ). Age is reported in years; its quadratic term is also included to allow nonlinear changes across the life course.…”

Good Looks as a Source of Moral Permissiveness*

Objective. Establishing what leads people to particular moral beliefs is complicated by potential predictors being themselves caused by moral attitudes. This problem is less acute when considering the effects of good looks, which, by expanding sexual opportunities, shift incentives for beliefs regarding the morality of sexual activities. Methods. Regressions predict responses to moralityrelated questions in the 2016 General Social Survey and the 1972 National Election Study, which included interviewer (i.e., not self-generated) evaluations of respondents' looks. These questions concern various actions' moral acceptability regardless of legality, as well as policy positions on issues including gay marriage and marijuana legalization. Results. Better-looking respondents give more morally permissive responses to most questions relating to sex. For issues not directly related to sexual opportunities, however, attractiveness does not predict significantly more acceptant attitudes. Conclusion. Good-looking people generally are more acceptant of those indulgences that they have disproportionate opportunities for, highlighting the role of opportunism in the formation of moral and political attitudes. Good Looks as a Source of Moral Permissiveness 329where attractiveness provides less direct prospects, the good-looking do not appear notably more permissive than their homelier compatriots. These findings speak not just to attitudes regarding some socially contentious issues, but also to the broader question of where political and moral beliefs come from, bolstering other sources of evidence that ethical judgments are, in part, opportunistic. Options, Morals, and LooksWhen tempting but morally suspect options become more readily available, people often downgrade previous moral objections. For example, easy file-sharing applications made people, especially the young, more willing to countenance consuming intellectual property that was not paid for (Leonard and Cronan, 2005). Similarly, people tend to find it acceptable to evade those taxes they find easy to evade, regardless of how much revenue that evasion would cost the state (Cowell, 1992;Hammar, Jagers, and Nordblom, 2009). The relationship between ease of violating a potential norm and the degree to which people believe that moral force, not mere convention, justifies the norm is ambiguous, however. The ease of evading a norm is typically endogenous: ostensible norms that people do not really feel matter are unlikely to be stringently enforced (e.g., obeying speed limits) (Havarneanu and Havarneanu, 2012). Perceptions that an action is not morally problematic thus lead to greater opportunities to pursue that action. Studies of how opportunity interacts with moral beliefs accordingly often raise concerns about reverse causation.Attitudinal sources that are themselves unlikely to be caused by moral beliefs can help disentangle this causal knot. Consider physical beauty, or good looks. While several potentially endogenous factors from exercise to cosmetics influence physic...

“…In addition to characteristics that signal the biological qualities of an organism, it was also found that individuals tend to prefer the faces (consider them attractive) of individuals who have desirable psychological characteristics. As it turns out, humans are capable of reliably detecting extraversion (Penton-Voak et al, 2006), intelligence (Talamas et al, 2016), warmth (Wen et al, 2020) or agreeableness (Little & Perrett, 2007) based on facial features and subsequently assess those features as attractive. Similarly, subjects tend to avoid (and experience aversion towards) the presence of facial features that suggest characteristics that are undesirable within interactions.…”

The Attractiveness of Dark Triad Characteristics in Facial Composites with Respect to Gender

The attractiveness of the human face is influenced by many different facial characteristics, which convey important information about the other person. Facial features provide signals related to various biological and psychological qualities of an individual supporting mutual mating interactions. Previous studies have mainly focused on the identification of features that indicate positive and desirable characteristics in the potential partner. However, it is equally important for people to react to the presence of negative characteristics. In terms of high-risk features, Dark Triad characteristics, including subclinical narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy, play a major role. The study focuses on the assessment of the attractiveness of these three characteristics in female and male computerised facial composites, while taking the gender of the assessor into consideration. The results show that the only negatively assessed characteristics were identified by female evaluators (male narcissism and female psychopathy). The other significant results showed that the Dark Triad characteristics are evaluated as attractive.
