双语新闻:女性长得漂亮未必有利于求职

  Attractive people are usually at a slight advantage when it comes to getting a job. But a new study finds that for women in traditionally masculine fields, beauty can be a burden.
  Attractive women were “discriminated against” when applying for jobs considered “masculine”and for which appearance was not seen as important to the job, according to a study published in the May/June issue of the Journal of Social Psychology. Such positions included job titles like manager of research and development, director of finance, mechanical engineer and construction supervisor.
  Stefanie Johnson,author of the study, found in one experiment, participants were given 204 photos of university students (all Caucasian and dressed in business clothing) and asked to rate their attractiveness on a scale of one to seven. The participants were then asked to rate how suitable each person in the photographs would be for a series of occupations.
  In a second study participants were asked to rate candidates for four jobs: prison guard, car salesperson, secretary and social worker. The first two jobs were considered masculine, and the second two, feminine. Appearance was judged to be unimportant for prison guards and social workers, and important for car salespeople and secretaries.
  The results showed that attractive women received high ratings for the two feminine jobs and for the car sales job, in which physical appearance was important. But for the prison guard job, a masculine job in which physical attractiveness wasn't important, pretty women were rated significantly lower. For men, attractiveness was a boon across all job categories.
  在找工作的时候,漂亮的人往往要比一般人略具优势,更容易获得工作机会。然而,一项最新研究表明在传统男性工作领域中,漂亮对于女性来说就是一个负担了。
  在申请带有“男性”性质的工作和外貌并不重要的工作时,有魅力的女性就受到了歧视,社会心理学杂志5月和6月的合刊发表调查研究表明。 这些工作包括研究发展经理、金融主管、机械工程师和工程监理。
  在一项试验中,调查报道作者史丹芬•约翰逊发现,调查者给予204张高校学生的照片,让他们按漂亮指数1至7级给予打分。然后询问被调查者照片中的人是否适合一些职位。
  在第二个试验中,研究参与者被要求评估下列四份工作:监狱警卫、汽车销售人员、秘书和社会工作者。前两份工作被认为具有“男性”性质,后两份工作被评定为具有“女性”特质。对于监狱警卫和社会工作者来说,面貌并不是很重要;而对于销售人员和秘书来说,面貌尤为重要。
  结果显示,漂亮女性在两项带有“女性”性质的工作中获得非常高的分数,尤其是汽车销售工作,外貌非常重要。但是对于监狱警卫这份很具有“男性”特质的.工作来说,外貌漂亮就不重要了,漂亮的女性获得非常低的分数。在整个工作领域中,英俊的男士都是非常受欢迎。
