Join your (simply gorgeous) co-hosts this week as we discuss the privilege no one talks about - the privilege of beauty. While Paola dazzles us with jokes and a face for radio, Taylor shares a meta analysis of findings that show how "aesthetic capital" serves to provide us with measurable gains in power, wealth, relationships and more. Don't you worry your pretty little heads, turns out there's both perks and penalties of attractiveness. And it's something we all work to achieve - but at what cost? They say "it hurts to be beautiful" AND that "beauty knows no pain" - so tune in to hear how the science breaks down when we're dolled up.
The study we chat about today is called, "Aesthetic Capital: A Research Review on Beauty Perks and Penalties" by Tammy L. Anderson, Catherine Grunert, Arielle Katz and Samantha Lovascio. You can find the study here: https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1751-9020.2010.00312.x
