People tend to assume that men whose faces are wide and short are more likely to be <u>prejudiced </u>than those whose faces are narrower and taller.
When someone is treated differently based only on how they show themselves, it is known as appearance-based discrimination. This leads to an imbalance between how someone is rated based on their performance and how they seem.
Appearance-based discrimination frequently takes the form of a superior who treats a worker differently because they are drawn to them physically. Or perhaps it involves a more tomboy-like female employee getting passed over for a promotion because they don't fit the stereotype of what a woman should look like.
