“…Dion, Berscheid and Walster (1972) found general agreement for the assumptions that attractive persons have more socially desirable personality traits, obtain more prestigious occupations, competent spouses, and happier marriages. The stereotype: "beautiful is good" was coined by these three researchers and is actually applied in many different social situations; e.g.…”

Abstract. Cosmetic surgery, its prevalence among women and the reasons why they choose to do such a risky, expensive and painful procedure had been a matter of research recently. Technology had made it easier for women to change their appearance quickly and almost permanently. Iran is a country in which cosmetic surgery had become very common. The intention behind such behavior is of importance since it can help women to reflect on their will to undergo cosmetic surgery. Regarding this, an interview with women who had different kinds of cosmetic was conducted (N=10). To get an overview about the surgeon's notion, an interview with a plastic surgeon was also conducted. The interview questions were basically directed toward their most important motivation of undergoing cosmetic surgery, the notion of women toward beauty, its importance in life, its role in romantic relationships and its probable effects on men's faithfulness. This qualitative research is based on the open questions and answers that the interviewees freely talked about. The results can partly show the hidden motivations and intentions that volunteers of these surgeries have. They are the intentions that normally are not talked about and are hidden behind the surface reasons.

“…Assim como encontrado em outros estudos (Borelli e Casotti, 2010;Dion et al, 1972;Webster e Driskell, 1983), os entrevistados falam da beleza como facilitadora das relações sociais, principalmente nos relacionamentos amorosos. Contudo, para os homens pesquisados, o sucesso profissional e a inteligência foram por vezes colocados como mais importantes do que o corpo como capital (Goldenberg, 2000).…”

Os efeitos da boa aparência física ultrapassam os limites daquele que é belo: um homem associado a uma mulher bonita, por exemplo, é julgado de forma positiva pelos demais de modo que a atratividade física da parceira pode ser entendida como uma medida do sucesso ou fracasso do homem (Louie, 1992).…”

RESUMOMudanças recentes vêm afetando as fronteiras de gênero: masculinidade e feminilidade mostram, em muitas situações, delimitações tênues. Porém, muitos ideais tradicionais de gênero persistem no subconsciente do indivíduo (Goldenberg, 2000). A identidade masculina é construída a partir da negação -negando atributos relacionados à mulher, à criança ou ao homossexual -e aqueles que se consideram fora do padrão dominante de masculinidade ainda demonstram medo de serem vistos como homossexuais (Badinter, 1993, e outros). O consumo de beleza está associado ao desejo de promover um aumento da atratividade física e a obtenção dos benefícios sociais correspondentes (Bloch e Richins, 1992). Como a atratividade física é considerada um elemento central da feminilidade, o consumo de práticas de beleza costuma ser maior entre as mulheres. A identidade de gênero masculina está associada a menor preocupação com a aparência, assim, os homens estão menos inclinados a adotarem práticas de beleza. Neste contexto, como pesquisar o tema beleza entre os homens? O objetivo deste estudo exploratório foi contribuir para uma melhor compreensão sobre o consumidor masculino de produtos e serviços de beleza, refletindo sobre padrões estéticos e práticas relacionadas à beleza masculina. Os relatos foram obtidos através de entrevistas em profundidade, usando também técnica projetiva, com dez jovens homens de classe econômica alta no Rio de Janeiro. Diversos aspectos das práticas de beleza são manipulados pelos entrevistados na caracterização de papéis sociais e na construção das identidades de gênero. Poucas foram as práticas de beleza identificadas como permitidas para o gênero masculino.

“…Whilst some studies report a 'kernel of truth' in trait impressions (Berry, 1990;Borkenau, Mauer, Riemann, Spinath, & Angleitner, 2004;Penton-Voak, Pound, Little, & Perrett, 2006), plenty of evidence points towards unrelated, and often transient, cues driving personality judgments, such as physical attractiveness (Dion, Berscheid, & Walster, 1972;Feingold, 1992;Jones, Little, Burt, & Perrett, 2004) or emotions (Knutson, 1996;Montepare & Dobish, 2003), which shows that people are not infallible in their judgments. However, consensus at zero acquaintance remains an interesting topic of study independent of the Kernel of Truth hypothesis and the lack of accuracy by no means diminishes the importance of our study.…”

“…Rather, they used subjective gait ratings, which may be confounded with trait ratings. High inter-trait scale correlations are common in rating studies (e.g., Oostehof & Todorov, 2008), and a 'what is beautiful is good' bias, a so-called Halo Effect, is common when making judgments of strangers in general (Dion, et al, 1972).…”
