Bullying shouldn’t be dismissed just because it’s happening in a school; schools are a major part of young people’s lives, and the emotional and psychological effects of bullying during these important years can be long-lasting and deeply damaging. Dismissing such experiences as “not real life” reduces the pain and ignores the serious impact they can have on a person’s self-esteem, mental health, and overall well-being

  • PMID: 24329915
  • PMCID: PMC5558203
• Access: Full text available via links provided in the publication
• Study Overview:
  • Objective: To investigate whether the socioeconomic advantages associated with physical attractiveness in labor market outcomes originate from developmental experiences during adolescence, focusing on high school contexts.
  • Focus: Examines how high schools serve as dual environments for social relations and academic progress, shaping the long-term benefits of physical attractiveness.
• Conceptual Model:
  • Interdisciplinary Approach: Integrates theories from sociology, psychology, education, and developmental science.
  • Core Hypothesis: Physically attractive adolescents experience:
    • Greater Social Integration: Attractiveness facilitates stronger peer and teacher connections, reducing social stigma.
    • Psychosocial Resource Accumulation: Enhanced social ties provide emotional and social support, boosting academic achievement.
    • Social Distractions: Attractiveness draws youth into activities (e.g., romantic/sexual relationships, socializing) that may detract from academic performance.
  • Contradictory Dynamics: Attractiveness is both an asset (via social capital) and a distraction (via competing social priorities).
• Methodology:
  • Mixed Methods Design:
    • Quantitative Component:
      • Data Source: National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health (Add Health), a nationally representative study tracking adolescents into young adulthood.
      • Analysis: Statistical models to examine associations between physical attractiveness, social integration, academic outcomes, and later socioeconomic trajectories.
    • Qualitative Component:
      • Data Source: Ethnographic and interview data from a single high school.
      • Analysis: Explored adolescents’ perceptions of attractiveness, its social benefits, and its role in shaping behavior and treatment by others.
  • Complementary Approach: Quantitative data provided broad patterns, while qualitative data offered contextual depth and adolescent perspectives.
• Key Findings:
  • Benefits of Attractiveness:
    • Attractive youths experienced greater social integration, forming stronger peer networks and receiving more favorable treatment from teachers and classmates.
    • This integration led to the accumulation of psychosocial resources (e.g., self-esteem, social confidence), which supported academic achievement.
    • These advantages translated into better trajectories in young adulthood, including:
      • Higher educational attainment.
      • Improved employment outcomes.
      • Stronger family formation patterns.
      • Better mental health outcomes.
  • Distractions and Costs:
    • Attractiveness increased participation in social activities that distracted from academics, particularly:
      • Romantic and sexual partnerships, which consumed time and emotional energy.
      • Alcohol-related problems, linked to socializing in party-oriented peer groups.
    • These distractions partially offset academic benefits, leading to lower grades for some attractive youths.
  • Qualitative Insights:
    • Adolescents were aware of attractiveness-based advantages, noting preferential treatment from teachers (e.g., leniency in grading) and peers (e.g., social inclusion).
    • Attractive youths often prioritized socializing and dating, sometimes at the expense of studying or other responsibilities.
    • This social focus marginalized less attractive peers, contributing to social stratification within schools.
  • Long-Term Implications:
    • Patterns established in adolescence (social integration vs. distractions) influenced young adult outcomes across multiple domains (education, work, family, mental health).
    • Adolescence identified as a critical period for stratification by physical appearance, with lasting socioeconomic consequences.
• Theoretical Implications:
  • Supports theories of social capital, suggesting attractiveness acts as a resource for building networks and opportunities.
  • Highlights the role of schools as microcosms of broader societal stratification processes.
  • Emphasizes the dual nature of attractiveness as both an asset and a potential liability in developmental contexts.

People on an obscure Internet forum vent about their struggles in an unjust world and somehow soys think it's the end of the world, but when short/unattractive boys are bullied in school it "isn't real life bro".

 

[Poopless One]

Considering how my HS graduation ceremony included an Asian manlet giving some gay heartfelt speech about how "school is just as much a part of the real world as anywhere else" I find this hilarious.

“Beauty is in the eye of the employer: Labor market discrimination of accountants” by Offer Moshe Shapir and Zeev Shtudiner (2022).

Article Overview

This study investigates whether physical attractiveness affects hiring decisions in Israel’s Certified Public Accountant (CPA) firms. It finds that more attractive candidates are preferred for internships, especially in the largest CPA firms, the “Big 5.” The study explores why this “beauty premium” occurs and discusses implications of such discrimination.


Introduction

• Context: The accounting profession is highly competitive; in Israel, only half of accounting graduates get internships.
• Research question: Does physical appearance influence hiring decisions in CPA firms?
• Hypothesis: Attractiveness might be perceived as a positive signal linked to traits deemed necessary for success in accounting.
• The study uses questionnaires where managers rate candidates’ photos on hireability and attractiveness.

Literature Review

• Prior research confirms:
  • Attractive people tend to earn more and get hired more often (Hamermesh & Biddle, 1994; Mobius & Rosenblat, 2006).
  • Attractive people do not necessarily perform better, but they benefit from positive stereotypes (e.g., seen as more ethical, intelligent, confident).
  • Attractiveness leads to better oral and negotiation skills perceptions, greater confidence.
• Some studies find a “beauty penalty” for attractive women in hiring contexts, possibly due to jealousy or stereotyping.
• Physical appearance can influence judgments of unethical behavior, with attractive people judged more leniently.
• This study adds to the literature by focusing on CPA firms and including real managers as participants.

Research Design

• Participants:
  • 809 accounting students rated photos of 42 young Caucasian adults (21 men, 21 women) for attractiveness and traits essential to accountants: ethics, analytics, detail-orientation, criticism, inquisition, intuition.
  • 298 accountants and HR managers from CPA firms rated their willingness to hire these photographed candidates.
• Variables:
  • Attractiveness scored 1–9.
  • Willingness to hire scored 1–9.
  • Candidate gender, ethnicity (rated from Sephardi to Ashkenazi origin), manager gender, seniority, firm size (Big 5 vs. others).

Results

• Attractiveness ratings: Women rated more attractive than men on average.
• Hiring likelihood: Positively correlated with candidate attractiveness for both male and female candidates.
• Regression analysis controlled for:
  • Candidate gender
  • Candidate ethnicity
  • Manager gender
  • Manager age
  • Manager occupation (HR or accountant)
  • Manager seniority
  • Firm size
• Attractiveness remained a significant positive predictor of hiring likelihood.
• The “beauty premium” is stronger in the Big 5 firms.
• Attractive candidates are believed to possess the essential traits of successful accountants more than less attractive candidates.
• Both male and female managers showed this bias.

Discussion

• Implications:
  • Despite professionalism and well-defined job skills in accounting, hiring decisions are influenced by physical appearance.
  • The beauty premium may lead to less qualified but more attractive candidates being hired, which is inefficient for firms.
  • Discrimination based on appearance is a subtle but important bias in recruitment.
• Possible explanations:
  • Attractiveness might be an unconscious signal of positive traits like confidence and intelligence.
  • Attractive people may indeed have better interpersonal skills that are important in client-facing accounting roles.
  • Stereotypes and societal biases likely contribute to this preference.
• Complex gender dynamics:
  • Previous studies showed attractive women sometimes face disadvantages.
  • This study found no evidence of a penalty for attractive female candidates in this context, but this remains an area for further research.

Conclusion

• Physical attractiveness influences hiring decisions even in highly professional and technical fields like accounting.
• The beauty premium can affect equality of opportunity and may cause suboptimal hiring choices.
• Further research is needed on how to reduce appearance-based discrimination and on its broader impact in other professional fields.

'School is not real life' sorry but life is just a big high school

 

[Balding Subhuman]

School is real life and its even 'better' than real life, and high school is the ultimate litmus test on whether you are an undesirable incel or not. You're in a confined space, with about 50-50 gender ratio, stuck indoors with members of the opposite sex for hours almost everyday.

If you can't get positive attention or even NEUTRAL interactions from the opposite gender there, THEN YOU ARE AN INCEL. Its really that simple.
