Attractiveness and relationship longevity: Beauty is not what it is cracked up to be
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/pere.12173
Across four studies, we examined the relational repercussions of physical attractiveness (PA). Study 1 (n = 238) found that those rated as more attractive in high school yearbooks were married for shorter durations and more likely to divorce. Study 2 (n = 130) replicated these effects using a different sample (high‐profile celebrities). Study 3 (n = 134) examined the link between PA and the derogation of attractive alternatives, a relationship maintenance strategy. Study 4 (n = 156) experimentally manipulated perceived PA and examined its relation with both derogation of attractive alternatives and current relationship satisfaction. PA predicted likelihood of relationship dissolution and decreased derogation of attractive alternatives. Furthermore, PA predicted greater vulnerability to relationship threats—in this case, relationship alternatives—resulting from poor relationship satisfaction.
Zašto se lijepi ljudi češće razvode i prekidaju ljubavne veze?

Mnoga istraživanja pokazala su kako fizički privlačni ljudi "bolje prolaze" u životu...
Primijećeniji su u školi i na poslu, imaju bolje plaće u svojim poljima u usporedbi s manje atraktivnima, no imaju i oni svoje mane.
Tim istraživača pod vodstvom Christine Ma-Kellams, socijalna psihologinja s Harvarda i La Verne, htjeli su bolje razumjeti utjecaj fizičke privlačnosti na tijek ljubavne veze. Odnosno, zašto im veze kraće traju i imaju višu stopu razvoda.
Zaključila je da postoji veza između ljepote i prekida ljubavnih veza. Dvije žene su listale stari školski godišnjak iz 70-ih i 80-ih, a istraživači su od njih tražili da ocijene ljude prema privlačnosti. Zatim su potražili te osobe i pregledali njihov bračni status. Zaključili su da su oni koji su dobili bolje ocjene - razvedeni. Drugi je eksperiment pokazao vrlo slične rezultate.
Sve u svemu, istraživanja su pokazala da lijepi ljudi iza sebe imaju više propalih veza jer ulažu manje truda. Znanstvenici kažu da fizička privlačnost sa sobom nosi više opcija za druge veze osim one u kojoj se trenutno nalazite, pa tako negativno utječe na dugoročnost veza.

Assistant Professor of Psychology; received her Ph.D. in Social Psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2011. She was then a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University in the Psychology Department and the Harvard Kennedy School. Her research interests center on cross-cultural differences, emotion, and decision-making. In one line of work, she focuses on East-West cultural differences in basic emotional processes and responses to mortality threat. More recently, she is working on expanding our understanding of culture beyond ethnicity to examine alternative forms of culture (e.g., socioeconomic status, religion, time). She is also investigating both culture-specific and universal processes involved in judgment and decision-making processes. Dr. Ma-Kellams is designated as core undergraduate faculty.
