60 male and 60 female college students evaluated one picture of an attractive or unattractive male or female who was presented as an assistant professor of psychology. The attractive instructor, regardless of sex, received significantly higher ratings on warmth, sensitivity, ability to communicate, knowledge of subject matter, and superiority. Ratings on certain instructors' characteristics were independent of the attractiveness of the instructor and dependent upon the instructor's sex, with males receiving the higher ratings.
