The Supposed Physical Attractiveness Bias Against Supporters of the Women's Movement

A Meta-Analysis

Meta-analyses were performed on the body of literature investigating whether a bias against women who support the women's movement existed. It had been suggested that supporters were perceived as less physically attractive than nonsupporters. Yet numerous attempts to replicate the bias has resulted in a complex set of findings. The overall pattern of results did not support the existence of a bias (p = .58), and the mean effect size was virtually zero (+.01). It was concluded that people rate others with similar attitudes as more physically attractive than those with dissimilar attitudes.
