The Negative Effects of Attractiveness on Job Applicants
My experiment is an exploration of the “beauty is beastly” effect based on Johnson, Podratz, Dipboye, & Gibson (2010). They found that there are negative consequences of being an attractive woman and applying for masculine dominated positions. It is expected that participants will choose the unattractive woman for positions that have been male sex-typed and that attractiveness is of less importance. For positions that are female sex-typed and have a high importance for attractiveness, it is expected that the attractive woman will be chosen.
