Die Art und Weise, wie Menschen die körperliche Attraktivität einer Frau beurteilen, unterscheidet sich von der Art und Weise, wie sie ihre Persönlichkeitsmerkmale beurteilen. Körperliche Attraktivität basiert hauptsächlich auf statischen Körpermerkmalen wie dem Body-Mass-Index, während Eigenschaften wie Wärme und Verständnis größtenteils durch Körperbewegungen und Gesten abgeleitet werden.

I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

From the linked article:

A new study published in BMC Psychology provides evidence that **the way people judge a woman’s physical attractiveness differs fundamentally from how they judge her personality traits. The findings suggest that physical attractiveness is primarily evaluated based on static body features, such as body mass index, while traits like warmth and understanding are inferred largely through body motion and gestures**. This research highlights the distinct roles that fixed physical attributes and dynamic movements play in social perception.

So people base physical attractiveness on physical traits and their personality based on how they behave?

Listen, I know we need research to confirm things we think we already know in order to have good science, but come on.

Most of what I see in this sub is psychology which is an academic subject but not one I’d call science. Do these endless psychology papers really belong here?
