WHEN YOU LOVE YOURSELF, THAT’S WHEN YOU’RE MOST BEAUTIFUL” -Zoe Kravitz Zoe Kravitz DAVID HUME IMMANUEL KANT FRANCIS HUTCHESON WHAT DID PSYCHOLOGY DISCOVER ABOUT BEAUTY? (The Psychology of Beauty, WEB) Research found that a person who is perceived as attractive makes more money than a person of below-average looks. These study results can be attributed to a cognitive bias called the "halo effect." A cognitive bias is an error in reasoning, evaluating, remembering, or any other mental process that is often a result of holding on to one's preferences and beliefs regardless of contrary information. The halo effect (also known as the physical attractiveness stereotype and the "what is beautiful is good" principle) Evolutionary psychology found that faces hold certain fundamental and important characteristics that could indicate a person's quality as a romantic partner and as a mate. Among the most important and consistent factors in facial attractiveness are structural qualities of the face. These structural qualities are also sex-typical. How Cultural Traditions Shape Body Image Culture has a significant impact on how a person feels about himself or herself, as well as his or her body image. Cultural traditions can either be a positive or a negative influence on body image and on self-esteem. Body image is generally defined as how one thinks and feels toward one's body (Yam, 2013; Cash & Smolak, 2011). People see cultural group membership as an integral part of who they are. Hence, they are more likely to engage in events and behaviors that are related to their culture choose friends, media, and even marital partners from their culture (Yam, 2013; Yeh & Huang, 1996). When "culture" is experienced as a personally meaningful activity, it is difficult for a person to resist the conscious and unconscious ways that culture influences a person's life.

Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale Does your body image have an impact on your self-esteem? SELF-ESTEEM Self-esteem was coined by William James in 1800. the number of successes a person achieves in the domains of life that are important to him or her, divided by the number of failures that occurred in those areas (The Corsini Encyclopedia of Psychology and Behavioral Science, 2002). In the 1960s, behavioral scientists defined self- esteem in terms of an attitude concerning one's worth as a person (Rosenberg, 1965). BODY IMAGE is how you view your physical body, whether you feel you are attractive, and how you feel some other people like your looks. HOW IMPORTANT IS PHYSICAL BEAUTY? PHYSICAL BEAUTY The dictionary's definition of beauty is, "the degree to which a person's physical traits are considered pleasing or beautiful." Take note that the definition did not indicate "who" determines what type of physical traits is attractive and unattractive. SELF IMAGE The problem happens when your looks do not match your beauty standards. To have a positive self-image and a higher self-esteem you must fix your false beliefs about physical attractiveness first. THANKYOU FOR LISTENING!
