New study shows how first impressions based on attractiveness can change
Recent studies reveal that first impressions based on attractiveness can be changed with new information, contradicting the notion of irreversible 'attractiveness halo effect'. This suggests that perceived personality traits linked to physical looks are malleable and can be updated.

“We know that the attractiveness of individuals generally leads to a myriad of stereotypical attributions (e.g., attractive people are generally perceived as vain but also as sociable),” said study author Marine Rougier, a postdoctoral researcher at UCLouvain. “We also know that these attributions can influence real-life behaviors. For instance, attractive people generally receive a more positive treatment than less attractive individuals.”
It demonstrated that initial positive impressions based on attractiveness could be significantly reversed after updating. For example, if participants were told that someone they initially thought was attractive was actually less so, they also rated them lower on positive personality traits
“We observed that updating the attractiveness of a person (e.g., saying that a person is less attractive than he or she seemed to be on a picture) can change the myriad of stereotypical attributions people made,” Rougier told PsyPost. “For instance, if the attractive person was initially perceived as highly vain and sociable, then he or she will be perceived as low on these two attributes after being informed that the person is in fact not attractive. This illustrates that stereotypical attributions are malleable and can be changed when the source of these attributions is updated.”
