Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kenrick and his colleagues' (1989) study found that exposure to highly attractive people actually led to a contrast effect, making average-looking people seem unattractive in comparison. Therefore, the correct answer is that average women seem less attractive, confirming the contrast effect. Option A is incorrect because it suggests that average women would seem more attractive, which is contradictory to the study's findings. Option B is also incorrect because it refers to the mere exposure effect, which is different from the contrast effect studied by Kenrick and his colleagues. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that exposure to highly attractive individuals somehow decreases attraction to average-looking people, which is not supported by the study.
