Preferred term

relationship implications of body image  

Definition(s)

  • First impressions are substantially based on readily apparent physical features, and in this process, physically attractive people are perceived to possess more socially desirable personality characteristics than physically unattractive individuals. Due to this physical attractiveness stereotype, matching attractiveness standards is an important personal goal for many people, and it significantly shapes self-perceptions.
