项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will significantly contribute to the growing body of research on physical attractiveness as a source of social stratification that has wide implications for health, akin to more frequently studied factors like race and gender. Health is an integral component of the approach to this project-as a dimension of physical attractiveness (e.g., weight), as a mechanism by which physical attractiveness has effects on social and academic achievement (e.g., mental health), and because the adult socioeconomic attainment that is expected to reflect histories of physical attractiveness is a fundamental component of lifelong health and health disparities. This project also will provide a practical service to the feld by expanding a public use data set so that it can be used to study the role of attractiveness in a wide variety of outcomes, including health behaviors and health disparities. Specifically, the project will create the most comprehensive longitudinal data ever amassed of physical attractiveness from infancy through adolescence by re-coding videotapes that were already gathered at nearly a dozen time points in the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development. It will describe trajectories of beauty in this cohort and test important hypotheses derived from an integrative theoretical model put forward in a new book by the investigators. Based on status characteristics and life course theory as well as developmental systems and stigma perspectives, beauty's association with higher achievement is expected to operate through mental health mechanisms, including positive mood, perceived competence, and self esteem. These mental health resources are expected to counteract some of the ways being good looking could distract from schooling (i.e., physical assets might accentuate desires to climb the social ladder as young people move into and through adolescence and its associated peer contexts). Differences in the strength of associations by social location (gender, race/ethnicity, SES), by developmental period (early childhood, elementary, junior, and high school), and by ecological contexts (schools) will also be examined. The results of this project, and the new source of public use data created through the project, will stimulate future developmental, social psychological, and public health research on physical attractiveness as a stratifying force. These results will be written up for academic journal articles and also widely disseminated, which is important given the public, media and policy interest in the topic.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将极大地促进越来越多的关于身体吸引力的研究，作为社会分层的一个来源，这对健康具有广泛的影响，类似于种族和性别等更频繁研究的因素。该项目方法的一个组成部分——作为身体吸引力的一个维度（例如体重），作为身体吸引力影响社会和学术成就（例如心理健康）的机制，并且因为成人的社会成就是预期反映身体吸引力的历史是终身健康和健康差异的基本组成部分，该项目还将通过扩展公共使用数据集来为该领域提供实用服务，以便将其用于研究吸引力在健康中的作用。各种各样的具体来说，该项目将通过对 NICHD 早期儿童研究中近十几个时间点收集的录像带进行重新编码，创建有史以来最全面的关于从婴儿期到青春期的身体吸引力的数据。护理与青少年发展。它将描述这一群体的美丽轨迹，并检验研究人员根据身份特征和生命历程理论以及发展系统提出的综合理论模型得出的重要假设。从耻辱的角度来看，美丽与更高成就的联系预计会通过心理健康机制发挥作用，包括积极情绪、感知能力和自尊，这些心理健康资源预计会抵消一些因长相漂亮而分散学业注意力的因素。，随着年轻人进入并度过青春期及其相关的同龄人环境，有形资产可能会加剧攀登社会阶梯的愿望。（幼儿、小学、初中和高中）和生态环境（学校）也将受到审查。该项目的结果以及通过该项目创建的公共使用数据的新来源将刺激未来的发展、社会。将身体吸引力作为分层力量的心理和公共卫生研究这些结果将被写成学术期刊文章并广泛传播，考虑到公众、媒体和政策对该主题的兴趣，这一点非常重要。
