Undergraduate students in Singapore (N = 80) learned about the competence (low vs. high) and likability (low vs. high) of a future interaction partner and indicated their attraction toward that stranger. The effect of likability was two times as large as that of competence. Because of the additive effects of the two manipulated factors on attraction, the authors interpreted the preference for lovable fools over competent jerks as an outcome of a generalized supremacy of likability over competence.
新加坡的本科生（N = 80）了解了未来互动伙伴的能力（低与高）和可爱程度（低与高），并表明了他们对那个陌生人的吸引力。可爱程度的影响是能力影响的两倍。由于这两个被操纵因素对吸引力有累加效应，作者将对可爱的傻瓜而非有能力的混蛋的偏好解释为可爱程度普遍优于能力的结果。
