Beauty Affects The Eye of the Consumer

Pay attention, retailers.  For a fatter bottom line, you might want to have some hunks and hotties on hand.  That’s what Jennifer Argo and her colleagues say.  She teaches business at the University of Alberta.  The research team did a study to be published in an upcoming issue of the Journal of Consumer Research.  The result: customers were more enthusiastic about clothing when they saw good-looking people handling the clothes.

The team studied responses of 300 shoppers who were sent to a store to try on a specific shirt. When the shoppers saw a planted average-looking person trying on the shirt they came for, they weren’t that interested in buying it.  But when a fetching model of the opposite sex was seen to sport the shirt, the shoppers said they were then actually willing to spend more for it.

Regular Joes and Janes, don’t take that as meaning you have no future on the sales floor.  Argo says that retailers can still get more appearance-connected sales mileage from their average-looking staff just by making sure the employees stay well-groomed to give a natty appearance.

Reptile Sex Determination Is Hot Topic

Every expectant mother gets asked the same question: boy or girl? For mammals like us, it’s an easy call. Two X chromosomes you get pink booties. X and a Y you get blue. But for some reptiles, the answer depends on the weather. Well, on the temperature to be precise. For many lizards and turtles and gators, the sex of the hatchlings depends on the temperature in the nest where the eggs incubate.

But why would animals bother with such a seemingly slapdash system for assigning sex? The only logical answer is: there must be some benefit. Each sex must fare better at the temperature that tends to produce that sex. A fine theory, but no one has been able to test it. Until now.

In the January 20 online issue of Nature, scientists at Iowa State University describe how they used hormones to produce lizards with the “wrong sex”—animals that came out male even though they were incubated at the female temperature. And vice versa. They found that females born and raised at the female temperature made more babies than females hatched at the wrong, male temperature. Ditto for the males. Call it the Goldilocks principle.  You’re born at a temperature that’s just right—at least if you’re a lizard.
