===<span style="font-family:'Linux Libertine, Georgia, Times, serif'; font-size:24px; font-weight: normal;">Photoshopping a photo of a man into a luxury apartment made women rate him as 30% more attractive=== | |||
---- | |||
Dunn & Hill (2014) conducted a study wherein undergraduate students (females rating a males photo;n = 35) rated the attractiveness of a control photo of a opposite sex target in a 'neutral' apartment vs luxury. The photos were rated by two groups of participants, one group rating the control photo and another rating the luxury apartment photo. The participants rated the attractiveness of the opposite sex target photo on a decile (1-10) scale. | |||
The subjects were also asked to rate ‘distracter photos’ which were employed and presented in such a manner as a way of minimizing the participants ability to guess the nature and purpose of the study. | |||
They also conducted a smaller scale (n=10) preliminary study 20 (N = 10 male/10 female) involving undergraduate students, once again from the same university which they estimated the age and attractiveness of four potential opposite-sex target models of which one from each sex was chosen for use in the main study (above). | |||
It was found that, in both studies, that apartment context of a women's photo had no significant effect of the male raters judgement on the rated attractiveness of the photo. However, there was a significant (33% more attractive) effect for women rating the photos of the men. | |||

* ''Any differences in attractiveness scores given between sexes revealed in the main study could be attributed to the experimental manipulation of wealth and status alone.'' | |||
* I''t appears then that it may be adaptive for men to display luxury consumption for example through purchasing a sports car or expensive house/apartment as a way of enhancing their social status, leading to more mating opportunities and higher levels of fitness.'' | |||
* ''However, the results of this and other studies suggest that if women are attempting to increase the likelihood of attracting males through status enhancement, then this may indeed be a futile endeavour. | |||
