Volunteers assessed the intelligence of women with bright makeup
Scientists from Australia conducted an interesting experiment and found out what mental abilities women who prefer to do bright makeup with or without reason "have".
The study was published in the Daily Mail.
Does "improved" appearance help self-esteem?
Scientists conducted the experiment in 2 stages. First, they asked the participants in the experiment (1229 girls participated in it) to imagine several situations: a casual meeting with friends, a date, and a job interview. After that, many girls began to apply a lot of cosmetics on their faces.
In the course of the survey, the scientists found that the "improved" appearance affects the self-esteem and responsiveness of almost all the girls taking part in the experiment.
In the second stage, volunteers were already connected. They were asked to rate which of the girls they thought were smarter. Almost everyone ascribed higher mental abilities to girls with a minimum of makeup, but girls with bright makeup were considered "sex lovers at a time."
Scientists have concluded that women are still under pressure from society and cannot completely give up makeup.
