     Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are
happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give
them better advice for finding jobs. Even jud ges are softer on attractive defendants (被告).But in the adminis
trative circle, beauty can become a liability.
     Although attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the administration ladder, it is harmful
to a woman.
     Handsome male administrators were considered to be more honest than plainer men, though effort and
ability were also thought to account for their success.
     Attractive female administrators were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones, and very
often their success was be lieved to be connected not to ability but to factors such as luck.
     Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attrac tive woman is considered to be more feminine (女性的) and an at- tractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractive woman. Thus an attractive
woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but in a traditionally masculine position an attractive
woman appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.
     This is true even in politics." When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women
differently," says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractive- ness on political
candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of
women, in order of attractiveness. Then the students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that
attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive
unchangeably received the fewest votes.
