Reactions to a Child's Mistakes as Affected by Her/His Looks and Speech.

Berkowitz, Leonard; Frodi, Ann

Social Psychology Quarterly, v42 n4 p420-25 Dec 1979

Undergraduate females were or were not provoked by a confederate, and then required to discipline a girl who was pretty or was unattractive; or to discipline a boy who stuttered or one who spoke normally. The undesirable physical characteristics provoked stronger punishment, especially when subjects were angry. (Author/GDC)
