Question

Feingold (1990) conducted a meta-analysis of a number of studies that addressed gender differences in the importance that people place on physical attractiveness. Based on his findings, which people is LEAST likely to be influenced by physical attractiveness?

Answer 1

Answer:

Heterosexual women are least likely to be inflluenced by physical attractiveness.

Explanation:

Feingold (1990) conducted a meta-analysis of existing empirical research that addressed the topic of physical attractiveness and how important it is to men and to women, when seeking for a partner or establishing a romantic relationship.

Feingold's findings are consistent with the research he analyzed: physical attractiveness of the partner is more important to men than it is to women and, thus, it plays a more important role in the relationship outcome for men than for women. Although research doesn't indicate that for women it is not important at all, they are least likely to be influenced by it, whereas men indicate a strongrer preference for an attractive woman as a partner.
