雙語新聞:女性長得漂亮未必有利于求職
Attractive people are usually at a slight advantage when it comes to getting a job. But a new study finds that for women in traditionally masculine fields, beauty can be a burden.
Attractive women were “discriminated against” when applying for jobs considered “masculine”and for which appearance was not seen as important to the job, according to a study published in the May/June issue of the Journal of Social Psychology. Such positions included job titles like manager of research and development, director of finance, mechanical engineer and construction supervisor.
Stefanie Johnson,author of the study, found in one experiment, participants were given 204 photos of university students (all Caucasian and dressed in business clothing) and asked to rate their attractiveness on a scale of one to seven. The participants were then asked to rate how suitable each person in the photographs would be for a series of occupations.
In a second study participants were asked to rate candidates for four jobs: prison guard, car salesperson, secretary and social worker. The first two jobs were considered masculine, and the second two, feminine. Appearance was judged to be unimportant for prison guards and social workers, and important for car salespeople and secretaries.
The results showed that attractive women received high ratings for the two feminine jobs and for the car sales job, in which physical appearance was important. But for the prison guard job, a masculine job in which physical attractiveness wasn't important, pretty women were rated significantly lower. For men, attractiveness was a boon across all job categories.
在找工作的時候,漂亮的人往往要比一般人略具優勢,更容易獲得工作機會。然而,一項最新研究表明在傳統男性工作領域中,漂亮對于女性來說就是一個負擔了。
在申請帶有“男性”性質的工作和外貌并不重要的工作時,有魅力的女性就受到了歧視,社會心理學雜志5月和6月的合刊發表調查研究表明。 這些工作包括研究發展經理、金融主管、機械工程師和工程監理。
在一項試驗中,調查報道作者史丹芬•約翰遜發現,調查者給予204張高校學生的照片,讓他們按漂亮指數1至7級給予打分。然后詢問被調查者照片中的人是否適合一些職位。
在第二個試驗中,研究參與者被要求評估下列四份工作:監獄警衛、汽車銷售人員、秘書和社會工作者。前兩份工作被認為具有“男性”性質,后兩份工作被評定為具有“女性”特質。對于監獄警衛和社會工作者來說,面貌并不是很重要;而對于銷售人員和秘書來說,面貌尤為重要。
結果顯示,漂亮女性在兩項帶有“女性”性質的工作中獲得非常高的分數,尤其是汽車銷售工作,外貌非常重要。但是對于監獄警衛這份很具有“男性”特質的.工作來說,外貌漂亮就不重要了,漂亮的女性獲得非常低的分數。在整個工作領域中,英俊的男士都是非常受歡迎。
