Question

Attractiveness has an impact even in infancy and childhood. All of the following are true, except

a) Babies stare at unattractive faces longer than attractive faces
b) Attractive infants receive more attention
c) Attractive children are believed to be more intelligent by teachers
d) People think misbehavior by attractive children is less serious

Answer 1

The statement that babies stare at unattractive faces longer than at attractive faces is false. Research suggests infants prefer to look at faces they find attractive, which contradicts the incorrect option provided.

Step-by-step explanation:

The impact of attractiveness in infants and children is a well-documented phenomenon based on extensive psychological research. Among the statements provided relating to attractiveness.

However, the statement that babies stare at unattractive faces longer than attractive ones is not supported by the evidence that suggests infants have a preference for looking at human faces and may actually gaze longer at those they find attractive.

Therefore, the correct response to the multiple-choice question is:

a) Babies stare at unattractive faces longer than attractive faces

This statement does not align with the research showing that infants have a preference for human faces, which could include a bias towards those deemed more attractive.
