Facial attractiveness, sexual selection, and personnel selection: when evolved preferences matter
从进化视角研究招聘决策中面部吸引力的性别差异，发现高接触强度下人们偏好有吸引力的异性求职者，而女性更偏好低吸引力的同性求职者。
Abstract Using an evolutionary perspective, we looked at sex differences in the influence of facial attractiveness of applicants in hiring decisions, and determined whether expected contact intensity with applicants and experience in personnel selection moderated this influence. We found effects of evolved preferences regarding mate selection and intrasexual competition when the expected contact intensity was high. People showed a preference for attractive opposite‐sex applicants (mate selection). Furthermore, women preferred female applicants with low attractiveness over female applicants with high attractiveness (intrasexual competition). We found no salient differences between HRM professionals and students. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
