Mitarbeiter, die glauben, körperlich attraktiv zu sein, sind tendenziell eher bereit, ihre Meinung am Arbeitsplatz zu äußern. Diese Steigerung des Selbstvertrauens am Arbeitsplatz scheint auf der Überzeugung zu beruhen, dass das äußere Erscheinungsbild ein wichtiges soziales Gut ist, das einer Person mehr Einfluss verleiht.
Employees who feel attractive are more likely to share ideas at work

Pretty sure it gives confidence in all areas of life , yes?
A recent study published in Current Psychology provides evidence that employees who believe they are physically attractive tend to be more willing to speak up and share their ideas at work. This boost in workplace confidence seems to rely on the belief that physical appearance is an important social asset that gives a person more influence. The findings suggest that an individual’s internal sense of their own physical appeal can act as a hidden psychological resource in professional settings.
For those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

I read once that even teachers subconsciously believe attractive children are more intelligent.
This is why you hear so many stupid ideas at work
Need to take gym session seriously i guess
”This boost in workplace confidence seems to rely on the belief that physical appearance is an important social asset that gives a person more influence.”
This seems both needlessly mercenary, and attributing overly rational attributes to individuals behaviour.
I think very few people actually conciously think that *because they’re attractive*, they have more social influence. It’s more likely that they’ve ingrained their environmental cues and dont really relate it to their appearance at all. E.g. pretty people arent really aware of their privilege or actively consider it in most cases.
Seems pretty flawed. Oh look it’s from south korea where high school kids are getting plastic surgery.
Private privilege is right, and it’s pathetic that we think this way.And it’s going to be our doom
The loudmouthed incompetents I’ve met in my career all have unfortunate faces.
So I’d say whatever outcome this revealed is more correlation than a defacto reality of working life.
Flip side, impostor syndrome. In my particular field, I am honestly not great at the hard skills, but because I’m tall and conventionally attractive and have been my whole life, my soft skills are well developed and I’m good with clients and leading teams. As long as I’m careful and humble with respect to my hard skills, I can avoid problems and help solve issues and steer the overall program, but I work with many junior employees who are much smarter and more skilled than I am in our actual field.
It’s important in every facet of life essentially
In what world is physical appearance being an important social aspect, a „belief“? Would we say we „believe“ colorful birds get more mates or do we *know* it, from observation?
