STUDY: Skinny Women And Overweight Men Earn The Most
Journal of Applied Psychology
Women have another reason to hit the gym, while men may have another reason
not to.
The Journal of Applied Psychology found that women who are 25 lbs. below
average weight take home an additional $15,572 each year.
On the other hand, men who are 25 lbs. below average weight take home $8,437
less each year.
We knew gender expectations were unfair, but this shocked even the
researchers:
"Perhaps the most startling finding of this investigation is that men and
women experience opposite incentives regarding weight in the very thin to
average weight range. Whereas women are punished for any weight gain, very
thin women receive the most severe punishment for their first few pounds of
weight gain. This finding is consistent with research showing that the media
’s consistent depiction of an unrealistically thin female ideal leads
people to see this ideal as normative, expected, and central to female
attractiveness."
Workers who fit the ideal have a clear advantage in the workplace, because "
employees are more able to influence others and get things accomplished when
they conform to the media’s ideal body form."
While overweight men earned more, the researchers speculated that muscular
men did even better. Hitting the gym might be a good idea after all:
"Studies have demonstrated that people assign positive personality traits to
drawings or photographs of mesomorphic (muscular) men and mostly negative
traits to nonmesomorphic men. For example traits ascribed to mesomorphic men
were very positive (i.e., best friend, has lots of friends, polite, happy,
helps others, brave, healthy, smart, and neat). By contrast ... ectomorphic
(slender) men were described with a different set of negative traits (i.e.,
nervous, sneaky, afraid, sad, weak, and sick)."
Timothy Judge from the University of Florida and Daniel Cable from the
London Business School looked at the relationship between weight and income
by evaluating a cross-section of American workers. They began by looking at
12,686 participants from a BLS study in 1979.
To understand how weight affects salary, Judge and Cable considered several
variables, including gender, education, industry, hours worked, race, height
and age -- both which have a strong connection to earnings -- and marital
status ("a relatively consistent finding is that married individuals achieve
higher levels of objective success than unmarried individuals").
Altogether it's more proof of what we already know: attractive people are
rewarded in the workplace.
