Impact of External Appearance on Positive Social Perception

Abstract

By this research, I have aimed to conclude about the rapport which exists between the appearance of students and the impact on this seemingly positive social perception. Many studies conclude that the appearance has significant impact on how people perceive each other. We have selected a sample of 200 students of the University of Prizren and of two university colleges named "Fame" and "Universum" whom have been undergone by this research (research through questionnaires). Results issued by this research are relevant to most of the results obtained by other researches, in which the appearance is particularly important factor in positive social perception. Always according to these results, the appearance of student has a crucial role in how students perceive each other in the context of clothing, physical beauty and the perception of these elements in cahoots with the personality, estimation in faculty, selection at place of work etc.
