Children's Physical Attractiveness and Sex as Determinants of Adult Punitiveness

Dion, Karen K.

Developmental Psychology, 10, 5, 772-746, Sep 74

Two studies investigated the influence of a child's physical attractiveness and sex as potential elicitors of differential adult punitiveness. Assessed were the reactions of 40 women and 44 men. Results reveal differences in men's and women's reactions and suggest differences in their orientation towards children's task behavior. (Author/SDH)
