A pro-attractiveness bias may exist even in education, with studies showing that physically attractive students tend to obtain higher grades at university, partly because they are deemed more conscientious and intelligent, even when they are not. Furthermore, attractiveness already helps students to get into university in the first place, by eliciting more favorable evaluations during college admissions interviews. This is consistent with the broader finding of a very well-established “halo” effect whereby attractive people are generally perceived as being more sociable, healthy, successful, honest, and talented. In fact, meta-analytic studies suggest that even children are deemed smarter, more honest, and driven, when they are more attractive – and children make the same type of inferences when they evaluate more or less attractive adults. In an experiment, researchers asked kids to pick an imaginary boat captain for a game, and they were told to choose from photographs of actual…

Many people think that fangirls are crazy teenage girls who cry because of their obsession with a celebrity. They believe that the fangirls have no lives and devote them to these stars that appear on TV screens (http://insert-name-here.weebly.com/reflections/the-psychology-behind-fangirling; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nS2QqSQbjOQ). A fangirl is a generic term that can mean anyone from any age (usually teenagers) who is ‘obsessed’ with a band, artist, actor, sportsperson, television series, or even books.
