- Studies show that people generally think more highly of individuals wearing glasses.
- One study found that, when shown images of men wearing glasses, participants associated them with high-intelligence occupations (eg lawyers, doctors, etc).
- While seemingly superficial, this assumption is justified by research showing people who consistently wear glasses are (on average) more intelligent.
- However, people who wear full-rim glasses are initially perceived as less attractive and less likable.
- Those who wear rim-less glasses are viewed as more intelligent and also sociable.
