A study out of Sweden found that attractive female students saw their grades worsen once they switched to remote learning, suggesting that since professors were unable to physically see these students, they graded them possibly more on academic merit as opposed to letting their physical appearance influence their grade outcome.found that young women who were rated as attractive saw their grades suffer more after switching to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
When remote learning commenced at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the professors were unable to see all of the students’ faces, there was "less incentive for them to discriminate," Mehic said. "It matters in the labor market for wages. It matters in the courtroom. You’re less likely to go to prison if you look good," Mehic said.Of the 307 students, 65% were males and 45% were females, all of whom were enrolled in the Industrial Engineering Program at Lund University, according to Mehic.
One interesting note that Mehic highlighted was that race was not factored into the ratings, only because of regulatory hurdles and frankly, race did not need to be considered to complete this experiment. "Some people don’t really like to get this implication that they’re discriminating in favor of beautiful women because no one likes to hear that. They might not be so happy about the results but let me just say, this is kind of natural and it’s very difficult to do something about it, generally. Because, that’s how we as humans are, right? We like to see beautiful people, that’s something that we enjoy.
Everybody's grade suffered, report that you hacks 🙄
