thought as a goodlooking person，for a new study has found that the perception(认知) of physical attractiveness is influenced by a persons personality.The study，which was led by Gary WLewandowski，has found that people who exhibit negative characteristics，such as unfairness and rudeness，appear to be less physically attractive to observers.In the study，the participants viewed photographs of oppositesex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities.After personality information was received，participants also rated the probability of each individuals becoming a friend and a dating partner.Information on personality was found to significantly change the probability，showing that cognitive(认知的) processes modify(修改) judgments of attractiveness.“Thinking a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind，”said Lewandowski.The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation of becoming friends，which leads to greater expectation of becoming romantic partners and，finally，to being viewed as more physically attractive.The findings remained consistent regardless of how“attractive”the individual was formerly thought to be or of the participantscurrent relationship status.“This research provides a positive outcome by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness；it can even change peoples impressions of how goodlooking you are.” said
