Sample Stimuli of Strong vs. Weak Men

Caption

Study participants in a series of experiments conducted by Cameron Anderson, a professor of management at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business, and Aaron Lukaszewski, an assistant professor at Oklahoma State University, overwhelmingly equated physical strength with higher status and leadership qualities. The paper, "The role of physical formidability in human social status allocation,"is forthcoming in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. (In the actual study, the subjects' faces were visible.)
