Objective: Scholarship in psychology on halo effects demonstrates the powerful effects attractiveness has on social interactions. Here, we consider the influence of physical attractiveness on the development of social capital through social joining. With the unavoidable nature of attractiveness biases, we argue that more physically attractive individuals should be increasingly likely to join social organizations, which have been shown to be important parts of broader social engagement and the growth of social capital.

身体吸引力，晕轮效应和社会参与

目的：关于光环效应的心理学研究表明吸引力对社会互动具有强大的影响。在这里，我们考虑通过社会参与，物质吸引力对社会资本发展的影响。由于存在着吸引力偏见的不可避免性质，我们认为，身体上更具吸引力的个人应越来越有可能加入社会组织，这已被证明是更广泛的社会参与和社会资本增长的重要组成部分。
