How Beauty Impacts Life Satisfaction: Objective, Subjective, and Mediating Effects

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This study examines the extent to which perceived attractiveness influences individual well-being. Specifically, it investigates whether subjective attractiveness (how attractive individuals consider themselves) or objective attractiveness (how attractive they are assessed by others) plays a greater role in determining life satisfaction. Using data from the Czech Republic, the findings indicate that only objectively assessed beauty is significantly associated with life satisfaction. Moreover, the mechanisms behind this relationship differ by gender. Among women, the effect of objective attractiveness is largely mediated through self-esteem, emotional stability, and marital status. Among men, however, these mediating factors play a smaller role, and the relationship between attractiveness and life satisfaction is driven primarily by the direct effect of objective beauty.
