Peer Relations as a Function of Physical Attractiveness: The Eye of the Beholder or Behavioral Reality?

Langlois, Judith H.; Downs, A. Chris

Child Development, V50 n2 p409-18 Jun 1979

To determine whether behavioral differences exist between attractive and unattractive children, 64 boys and girls aged three and five years were selected on the basis of physical attractiveness and were paired in same age, same sex, and attractive and unattractive dyads. These dyads were then observed in a seminaturalistic play setting. (JMB)
