a small new study from University College London and the University of Maryland, which suggests it may be harder for attractive men to get a job in a competitive work environment.
The reason? The people doing the hiring feel threatened, of course—and by more than his looks.
The study was broken down into four related experiments, in which participants were asked to “hire” or otherwise choose between photos of attractive and unattractive (as determined by previous research) “candidates.” The experiments involved between 92 and 273 participants.
While the researchers found that attractive men fared well in a team environment,
unattractive men were significantly favored in a competitive environment—one that simulated a workplace in which employees are rewarded based on individual success. Pitesa likes to use the example of car salesmen, who are technically on the same team but also competing against one another.
“In situations where there are subtle or less subtle cues of competition among colleagues,” Pitesa told Fusion, “then the fact that attractive men are seen as more competent is going to create a disadvantage for attractive men.”
Pitesa said the discrimination wasn’t limited to shallow or superficial folks. “I was taken by the fact that people were unaware of [their bias],” said Pitesa. “People make these important job decisions and inferences about how competent people are just based on their physical attractiveness without having the slightest clue that they’re doing that.”
