In a society that values appearance, understanding the factors that influence the evaluation of beauty is important. This study demonstrates that prosociality, defined as actions that benefit others, such as cooperation and kindness, affects beauty evaluation.
The results revealed that, across all 10 experiments, prosocial people were rated as more physically beautiful. Surprisingly, the researchers also found that prosociality had a bigger effect on beauty than humour or intelligence.
