, and friendliness. Before making their ratings, however, each face was paired with a vignette that described the person engaged in a prosocial, antisocial, or neutral action.Learning about morally relevant actions ostensibly carried out by the people whose faces raters saw affected their judgments of facial attractiveness. People thought these faces were more attractive, confident, and friendly when they were linked to prosocial actions than to neutral actions.
Evaluations of a person’s goodness bear on evaluations of physical attractiveness, which may be underpinned by a convergence of sharedand cognitive systems within our reward and emotional systems, such as in the medial orbitofrontal cortex and amygdala . Both attractive facial features that signal good health and mate quality and prosocial behaviors may have adaptive value to human survival and reproduction and these values are conflated.
The philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer observed that “white hair always commands reverence.” Older people are often regarded as being warmer and sometimes less competent , a combination that might mitigate the effects of antisocial information on judgments of their attractiveness. We did not find sex-related differences. It may be that the moral behavior of potential mates is equally important to both men and women, with both indicating that positive personality traits are an important factor in long-term mates .We also found that people who are sensitive to moral disgust and more likely to expressconcern were especially prone to rating faces as less attractive when paired with antisocial scenarios.
In sum, aesthetic evaluations are shaped by the properties of the aesthetic objects themselves , by contextual demands , and by individual differences in the psychological dispositions of evaluators . Beliefs about moral goodness and physical beauty influence each other. What is good is also beautiful and what is bad is also ugly.Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 24Hartung, F., Jamrozik, A., Rosen, M. E., Aguirre, G., Sarwer, D. B., & Chatterjee, A. .
