Briefly describe the results for both the Competence Ratings and Intelligence data (Trait Ratings data). Your answer must include a brief (couple sentences) interpretation of the data (i.e., if one or both main effects and/or the interaction were significant, then you need to state what it reflected). Competence ratings. There was a main effect for appearance such that participants rated the target as morecompetent when she dressed more conservatively (M =5.29, SD = .85) than when she dressed in a sexy manner(M = 4.46, SD = .95), F(1, 62) = 13.54, p < .01. As expected, there was also a significant career by appearance interaction, F(1, 62) = 4.77, p < .05. Comparisons of cell means (see Table 2) revealed that participants rated the receptionist as equally competent whether she was dressed in a sexy or a neutral manner. In contrast, participants rated the manager as less competent when she dressed in a sexy manner than when she dressed in a conservative manner, t(26) = −3.57, p < .01. Intelligence. Unlike the competence ratings, the per-ceived intelligence items (target's estimated GPA and selec-tivity of her college) referred to more objective benchmarksthat should be less subject to shifting standards (Biernat &Manis, 1994). There were no main effects for either the ca-reer or the appearance manipulation. The predicted careerby appearance interaction was significant, F(1, 62) = 4.36,p < .05. Comparisons of cell means (see Table 2) showedthat participants rated the receptionist as equally intelligentwhether she dressed in a sexy or a neutral manner. In con-trast, participants rated the manager as less intelligent whenshe dressed in a sexy manner than when she dressed in aneutral manner, t(26) = -2.10, p < .05.In summary, as with emotion ratings, competence andintelligence ratings were affected by the appearance ma-nipulation when the participants believed the target was amanager but not when they believed she was a receptionist.Participants viewed the sexy manager as less competent andless intelligent than the conservatively dressed manager.

Briefly describe the results for both the Competence Ratings and Intelligence data (Trait Ratings data). Your answer must include a brief (couple sentences) interpretation of the data (i.e., if one or both main effects and/or the interaction were significant, then you need to state what it reflected).

Competence ratings. There was a main effect for appearance such that participants rated the target as more
competent when she dressed more conservatively (M =5.29, SD = .85) than when she dressed in a sexy manner
(M = 4.46, SD = .95), F(1, 62) = 13.54, p < .01. As expected, there was also a significant career by appearance interaction, F(1, 62) = 4.77, p < .05. Comparisons of cell means (see Table 2) revealed that participants rated the receptionist as equally competent whether she was dressed in a sexy or a neutral manner. In contrast, participants rated the manager as less competent when she dressed in a sexy manner than when she dressed in a conservative manner, t(26) = −3.57, p < .01.
