Despite being behaviors performed by men and women, hair reduction and removal is still, in terms
of frequency, more practiced by women and signified differently between the sexes, whether within
gender constructs or in social and sexual contexts. The aim of this work was to investigate the
perception of individual characteristics of women in conditions with and without body hair and as
possible within a context of attractiveness and selection inter and intrasexual. Four photos of women
with hair were used, made by the models themselves and these photos were treated in Photoshop for
digital hair removal. The participants, 191 women (M = 26.8; SD = 7.42) and 140 men (M = 29.84;
SD = 7.66) had access through the online questionnaire to two pictures of women with hair (original)
and two hairless (treated) in legs and armpits and provide their first impressions of the age, personality
traits (Big 5) and sociosexuality of the observed models. As a result, we found that men and women
perceived models with body hair with higher levels of extroversion and openness than in relation to
models without body hair. Only female participants perceived models with body hair as having a
higher level of emotional stability. Only male participants perceived the models without body hair
with a higher level of agreeability and the models with body hair with a higher level of sociosexual
attitude. No difference was found for age and conscientiousness between the groups with and without
body hair for both sexes. In fact, the gender of the participants influenced the perception of certain
analyzed traits. Our results are only partially in line with our predictions. We expected that hair
removal would be more related to traits stereotypically related to femininity (high agreeability,
conscientiousness, emotional stability, and sociosexual restraint). However, we found a relationship
only between agreeability and the absence of body hair and an inverse and unexpected relationship
between the presence of hair and the perception of greater levels of openness, extraversion,
sociosexual attitude and less neuroticism. We conclude that body hair in women may represent for
those who observe it something related to nonconformity and/or tolerance to diversity, as well as
more pronounced sexual aggression and social and sexual behavior – probably due to the influence
on body hair and these characteristics of androgenic hormones (such as testosterone). Hair removal,
on the other hand, seems to generate a perception of greater agreeability for men through the
exploration of a bias and to be a relevant behavior in intrasexual selection and the expression of
neuroticism among women. We believe that body hair has the potential to represent a particular construct, with biological as well as cultural significance. The present work aimed to broaden the
scientific knowledge about the subject, as well as to deepen the discussion on subjects of high social
interest. It is hoped that the results of this study can also bring important contributions to the feminist
debate and provoke reflections about attractiveness norms in women. |

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES Apesar de serem comportamentos realizados por homens e mulheres, a redução e a remoção dos pelos ainda é, em termos de frequência, mais praticada por mulheres e significada diferentemente entre os sexos, seja dentro dos constructos de gênero, seja em contextos sociais e sexuais. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar a percepção de características individuais de mulheres nas condições com e sem pelos corporais e as possíveis implicações dentro de um contexto de atratividade e seleção inter e intrassexual. Foram usadas fotos de quatro modelos com pelos, feitas por elas mesmas e estas fotos foram tratadas no Photoshop para a remoção digital dos pelos. Os participantes, 191 mulheres (M = 26,8; DP = 7,42) e 140 homens (M = 29,84; DP = 7,66) tiveram acesso através do questionário online à duas fotos de mulheres com pelos (originais) e duas sem pelos (tratadas) nas pernas e axilas e forneceram suas primeiras impressões sobre a idade, traços de personalidade (Big 5) e sociossexualidade das modelos observadas. Como resultado, verificamos que homens e mulheres perceberam as modelos com pelos com maiores níveis de extroversão e abertura do que em relação as modelos sem pelos. Apenas participantes do sexo feminino perceberam as modelos com pelos com um maior nível de estabilidade emocional. Apenas participantes do sexo masculino perceberam as modelos sem pelos com maior nível de agradabilidade e modelos com pelos com maior nível de atitude sociossexual. Não foi encontrada diferença para idade e conscienciosidade entre os grupos com e sem pelos para ambos os sexos. De fato, o sexo dos participantes influenciou na percepção de certos traços analisados. Nossos resultados estão apenas parcialmente alinhados com nossas predições. Esperávamos que a remoção de pelos estivesse mais relacionada a traços estereotipadamente relacionados à feminilidade (alta agradabilidade, conscienciosidade, estabilidade emocional e restrição sociossexual). No entanto, encontramos relação apenas da agradabilidade com a ausência de pelos e uma relação inversa e não esperada da presença dos pelos com a percepção de maiores níveis de abertura, extroversão, atitude sociossexual e menor neuroticismo. Concluímos que, os pelos nas mulheres, podem representar para quem os observa, algo relacionado a inconformismo e/ou tolerância à diversidade, bem como agressividade sexual e comportamento social e sexual mais pronunciados – provavelmente devido a influência nos pelos e nessas características de hormônios androgênicos (como a testosterona). Já a remoção dos pelos, perece gerar uma percepção de maior agradabilidade para os homens através da exploração de um viés e ser um comportamento relevante na seleção intrassexual e expressão do neuroticismo entre as mulheres. Acreditamos que os pelos tem o potencial para representar um constructo particular, com significado biológico e também cultural. O presente trabalho visou ampliar o conhecimento científico a respeito do tema, bem como aprofundar a discussão em assuntos com elevado interesse social. Espera-se que os resultados desse estudo possam trazer importantes contribuições para o debate feminista e provocar reflexões acerca das normas de atratividade em mulheres. 2021-12-03T17:27:56Z 2021-12-03T17:27:56Z 2021-08-03 masterThesis CARVALHO, Jamile Lima.
