- “Baby face, you’ve got the cutest little baby face,” goes the classic

countenance may be attractive in non-amorous ways as well.

But only if the baby face is black, according to a study spearheaded by

of Management. His findings — titled “The Teddy Bear Effect: Does
babyfaceness benefit black CEOs?” — will be published in an upcoming
issue of the journal Psychological Science.

Livingston, an assistant professor of management and organizations, and
co-author Nicholas Pearce defined “babyfaceness” by the following
physical traits: rounder face, larger forehead, smaller nose, larger
ears and fuller, pouty lips. They’re all part of what Livingston refers
to as “disarming mechanisms.”
