摘　　要：颜值作为个人天生禀赋是否影响其公平感知?本文基于中国劳动力动态调查数据(CLDS)的实证研究发现:个体颜值越高,则越感到公平,社会地位是两者关系的重要中介渠道。机制分析表明颜值主要通过人际技能信号机制产生影响,而非偏好机制,具体表现为:第一,相比女性,男性的颜值对于社会地位以及公平感知的影响更为显著,这与中国"郎才女貌"的传统偏好倾向不同;第二,在对人际技能要求更高的职业中,颜值对公平感知与社会地位的影响更为重要;第三,相比于年轻人,中老年人颜值的影响更大;第四,颜值与朋友圈规模之间具有倒U形关系,颜值次高者拥有最多密切朋友数量。As individual’s natural endowment,does physical appearance affect one’s fairness perception?Based on an empirical study using data from China Labor-force Dynamics Survey,we find that better-looking individuals perceive higher degree of fairness and social status is the important mediating channel.Further mechanism analysis shows that physical appearance works through rather signal mechanism than preference mechanism,which is expressed by interpersonal skills.Firstly,males’and older’s physical appearance has more significant effects on social status and fairness perception.Secondly,the effects of physical appearance differs are more important in careers which demand high interpersonal skills.Thirdly,there exists an inverted-U relationship between physical appearance and number of friends.
