Dress to Impress: Personality in dating and the moderating role of clothing

Bachelor thesis | Psychologie (BSc)
Our personality shapes who we are and what we feel attracted to. Several pathways connecting personality, clothing style and attractiveness rating have been proposed. Here, I examined the effect of extraversion and agreeableness on attractiveness to others, moderated by clothing style. The results showed that the effect of extraversion or agreeableness on attractiveness rating was non-significant, with no significant indication of moderation via clothing. Reasons for these discrepancies are discussed. Future research should aim to investigate the relationships between personality, clothing and attractiveness.
