[Despite such evidence of favoritism toward handsome politicians, follow-up research demonstrated that voters did not realize their bias.]

 

Research has shown that we automatically assign to good-looking individuals such favorable traits as talent, kindness, honesty, and intelligence. ( ① ) Furthermore, we make these judgements without being aware that physical attractiveness plays a role in the process. ( ② ) Some consequences of this unconscious assumption that “good-looking equals good” scare me. ( ③ ) For example, a study of the 1974 Canadian federal elections found that attractive candidates received more than two and a half times as many votes as unattractive candidates. ( ④ ) In fact, 73 percent of Canadian voters surveyed denied in the strongest possible terms that their votes had been influenced by physical appearance; only 14 percent even allowed for the possibility of such influence. ( ⑤ ) Voters can deny the impact of attractiveness on electability all they want, but evidence has continued to confirm its troubling presence.
