In a sample of 125 college students, the author tested the hypothesis that, relative to less attractive peers, the physically attractive participants would depict greater social connectedness in self-descriptive photo essays. To document discriminant validity, the author also hypothesized that the correlation between physical-attractiveness ratings and the richness (i.e., individuality ratings) of photo essays would be near zero. The results confirmed both predictions and supported the convergent and discriminant validity of information from autophotographic essays. Thus, the attractive participants depicted themselves as very socially connected; however, they were neither more conventional-superficial nor more individualistic-creative than their less attractive peers in their photo essays.
在一个由125名大学生组成的样本中，作者检验了这样一个假设：相对于吸引力较低的同龄人，外表有吸引力的参与者在自我描述的照片短文中会表现出更强的社会联系感。为了证明区分效度，作者还假设外表吸引力评分与照片短文的丰富程度（即个性评分）之间的相关性将接近于零。结果证实了这两个预测，并支持了来自自拍短文信息的聚合效度和区分效度。因此，有吸引力的参与者将自己描绘成非常具有社会联系的；然而，在他们的照片短文中，他们并不比吸引力较低的同龄人更传统肤浅或更具个人主义创造性。
