The current empirical evidence regarding the effects of personality on physical attractiveness is limited to adult faces. In two preregistered studies, we demonstrated that personality descriptions influenced perceived cuteness, warmth, competence of young children, and female adults' nurturing motivation toward them. Study 1 showed that participants rated children accompanied by positive personality descriptions as cuter, friendlier, and more intelligent than their initial ratings. Negative personality descriptions reduced perceived cuteness in children, which in turn reduced nurturing motivation. Study 2 showed that negative personality descriptions consistently reduced perceived cuteness and warmth ratings after manipulation, regardless of the initial level of perceived cuteness. After one week, cuteness and warmth ratings in the positive personality condition tended to return to their initial ratings. However, the effect of negative personality descriptions on cuteness ratings persisted for all children. Together, our findings suggest that female adults' perception of cuteness and nurturing motivation are induced not only by children's appearance but also their personality.
目前关于人格对身体吸引力影响的实证证据仅限于成人面孔。在两项预先注册的研究中，我们证明了人格描述会影响人们对幼儿和女性成年人的可爱感、温暖感和能力感的认知。研究 1 表明，参与者给伴有积极人格描述的儿童的评分比最初的评分更可爱、更友好、更聪明。负面的人格描述降低了儿童的可爱感，进而降低了养育动机。研究 2 表明，无论初始可爱感水平如何，负面人格描述都会持续降低对可爱感和温暖感的评价。一周后，积极人格条件下的可爱感和温暖感评分趋于恢复到最初的评分。然而，负面人格描述对可爱感评分的影响对所有儿童都持续存在。总的来说，我们的研究结果表明，女性成年人对可爱感和养育动机的感知不仅受到儿童外貌的影响，还受到他们的人格的影响。
