SB1 Study Task 01 - Finding Research Sources

Today in the context of practice session we looked at the list of quotes again and decided on the theme that we wanted to look into for our context of practice essays.

Research has repeatedly found that physically attractive individuals are perceived by most to be socially more desirable than those that are perceived as being unattractive, something that is likely to have been reinforced by consumer societies..."
