How to Undo the Beautiful Is Good Stereotype: Get Familiar With Ugly Produce
This research examines factors that help consumers undo the ‘beautiful is good’ stereotype when fresh produce shopping. Findings suggest that high familiarity enables consumers to ignore good looks. In contrast, low familiarity breeds ignorance. Consumers with more (vs. less) cognitive resources believe that pretty (vs. ugly) produce tastes better.
