“Eyewear ‘seems to offer politicians an advantage over their competitors, at least in Western cultures, without any real drawbacks,’ writes a research team led by Alexandra Fleischmann of the University of Cologne. […] The findings reflect the social tendency to associate glasses with high intelligence. The effect is strongest among political liberals […].”Link to article: https://psmag.com/social-justice/eyeglasses-can-increase-a-politicians-appeal

“A new study in the journal Social Psychology provides evidence that wearing glasses can increase the electoral chances of political candidates. […] [Researchers] [such as Alexandra Fleischmann from the University of Cologne] found that participants from the United States were more likely to vote for politicians when they wore glasses. Glasses had a positive effect for both liberals and conservatives, but the effect was stronger among more liberal participants.”Link to article: https://www.psypost.org/2019/01/study-americans-more-likely-to-vote-for-politicians-who-wear-glasses-53022

“[A] study published recently in Social Psychology from researchers at the University of Cologne […] and the University of Groningen […] examined the relationship between [an American] political candidate’s electoral success and whether he or she wore glasses, finding that four eyes are, indeed, better than two. ‘We thought glasses would help as other research has shown that perceived competence is an important predictor of success in House and Senate elections’, says Alexandra Fleischmann, lead author of the study […].Link to article: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/01/16/study-glasses-make-you-look-smarter-could-help-you-win-an-election.html

“Politiker mit Brille werden eher gewählt als brillenlose, stellt eine psychologische Studie der Universität Köln [des von Alexandra Fleischmann geleiteten Forschungsteams] fest, weil Brillen in westlichen Gesellschaften nach wie vor mit Intelligenz in Verbindung gebracht werden. Die Existenz von Kontaktlinsen hat sich anscheinend noch nicht herumgesprochen. ”Link to article: https://www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/politiker-und-brillen-auge-um-auge-15829457.html

“[…] [Politicians] who wear glasses are more likely to be voted into power, a study suggests.

“Vor einigen Jahren zeigte eine Studie des Kölner Sozialpsychologen Wilhelm Hofmann und seiner Kollegen, wie stark moralisches Verhalten Menschen beeinflussen kann. […] Das Ergebnis: Wer moralisches Verhalten erfährt, ist im Gegenzug danach auch eher bereit, selbst moralisch zu handeln. […] Dann gibt es noch den Einfluss einzelner Menschen. ‘Hier zeigt die Forschung, dass vor allem drei Faktoren wichtig sind: Wie ähnlich wir uns der anderen Person fühlen, wie erreichbar uns das Verhalten der anderen Person scheint, und wie moralisch oder unmoralisch wir uns selbst fühlen’, erklärt die Sozialpsychologin Alexandra Fleischmann vom Social Cognition Center Cologne der Universität zu Köln.”Link to article: https://magazin.mein-erbe-tut-gutes.de/wissenswertes/moral-gutes-tun-wirkt-ansteckend/
