Salutations! We hope all is well and offer our condolences to those of you taking midterm exams this week. Our topic for discussion, as proposed by AJ ( I believe), will be how perceptions of beauty influence perceptions of character. There is a lot of research in social psychology suggesting that conventionally attractive people are perceived to be more competent in other areas of life; these are called the halo effect and the physical attractiveness stereotype. Do you agree that society has a bias in favor of the attractive or is this mostly hot air? Join us at Alumni Hall 200 at 8:00 PM on Thursday to share your thoughts on this topic.
Wishing you a beautiful week,
Grant
