Do Children Perceive Links Between Physical Attractiveness, Possessions, and Aggression?
We examine beauty stereotypes in children and the associations they make between physical attractiveness, possessions, and aggressive behaviour. Across four studies, we find that children perceive attractive children to own expensive possessions and display prosocial behaviour, whereas,unattractive children were perceived to own cheap possessions and display antisocial behaviour.
