If you exhibit positive characteristics such as honesty and helpfulness£¬the chances are that you will be thought as a good looking person£¬for a new study has found that the perception(ÈÏÖª) of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person's personality.

The study£¬which was led by Gary W£®Lewandowski£¬has found that people who exhibit negative characteristics£¬such as unfairness and rudeness£¬ appear to be less phy sically attractive to observers.In the study£¬the participants viewed photographs of opposite sex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities.

After personality information was received£¬part icipants also rated the probability of each individual's becoming a friend and a dating partner.Information on personality was found to significantly change the probability£¬showing that cognitive(ÈÏÖªµÄ) processes modify(ÐÞ¸Ä) judgments of attractiveness.

¡°Thinking a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind£¬¡±said Lewandowski.

The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation of becoming friends£¬which leads to greater expectation of becoming romantic partners and£¬finally£¬to being viewed as more physically attractive.The findings remained consistent regardless of how¡°attractive¡±the individual was formerly thought to be or of the participants'current relationship status.

¡°This research provides a positive outcome by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness£»it can even change people's impressions of how good looking you are.¡± said Lewandowski.

Tail Spin

(2013¡¤±±¾©¾í£¬B)Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park.The smaller dolphin£¬Grace, shows off a few of her tricks£¬turning around and waving hello to the crowd.The most amazing thing about her, however, is that she's even swimming at all.She doesn't have a tail.

Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap.When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005, she was fighting for her life.¡°Is she going to make it£¿¡± Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst.Grace did make it¡ªbut her tail didn't.She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.

Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail.Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down.Grace taught herself to move another way¡ªlike a fish! She pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.

The movements put harmful pressure on Grace's backbone.So a company offered to create a man made tail for her.The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn't hurt her.

The first time Grace wore the artificial tail£¬she soon shook it off and let it sink to the bottom of the pool.Now, she is still learning to use the tail.Some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all.¡°The new tail isn't necessary for her to feel comfortable£¬¡± says Stone, ¡°but it helps to keep that range of motion(¶¯×÷) and build muscles(¼¡Èâ)£®¡±

Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending.This month, Grace will star in Dolphin Tale£¬a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery.Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie.Many people travel from near and far to meet her. Seeing Grace swim with her man made tail gives people so much courage.
