The study, conducted by a graduate student at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, suggests that students learn better from teachers they find attractive.

Principe, a member of the College of Arts & Sciences Psychology faculty and an expert on facial attractiveness, cautions that care needs to be exercised by both those who report and read the study’s findings.
