SOCIAL VALUE OF BEAUTY IN POLITICIANS

Just have a look at this Spanish newspaper column which refers to what we discussed in class last monday (16/05) about the social value of beauty in forming first impressions -remember S. Asch (1950)-. It is confirmed that beauty acts as a central trait to develop good images of the person-to-know becacuse it is cognitively linked in halo effect to other positive traits such as intelligence and cleanliness.
