Androgynous and sex-typed participants evaluated adult and child target persons of varying levels of physical attractiveness on several social dimensions. All participants of both sexes attributed more positive qualities to highly physically attractive stimulus persons than to moderately attractive and unattractive targets. In evaluating transgressions, however, androgynous persons were less influenced by the target's physical appearance than were sex-typed persons. Potential reasons for androgynous persons' suspension of the physical attractiveness stereotype when evaluating social transgressions were explored. Finally, results were discussed within the context of gender schema theory.
