• Participants' beliefs about the importance of their own appearances were examined using the Beliefs about Appearances Scale (BAAS) and explicit attractiveness ratings for the IRAP photographic stimuli were measured using Likert scales; analysis examined relationships between these beliefs and IRAP scores. In addition to the issue of anomalous findings, a considerable limitation in the literature on attractiveness bias is that the bulk of the research has examined attractiveness bias in the social domain, and it is largely comprised of self-report or questionnaire data (Griffin & Langlois, 2006). Questionnaires are an efficient means of collecting data, but have well-documented vulnerabilities related to introspection and presentation bias (Dovidio, Kawakami, Johnson, Johnson, & Howard, 1997; Fazio, Jackson, Dunton, & Williams, 1995; Nosek, Greenwald, & Banaji, 2007). The IRAP (Barnes-Holmes et alia, 2006) was developed from a modern behaviour-analytic account of language and cognition called relational frame theory (RFT; see Hayes, Barnes-Holmes, & Roche, 2001), and has been used to examine attractiveness bias in other domains (Murphy et alia, 2015) as well as in areas such as implicit self-esteem (Vahey, Barnes-Holmes, Barnes-Holmes, & Stewart, 2009; Ritzert et alia, 2016) and sexual beliefs (Dawson, Barnes-Holmes, Gresswell, Hart, & Gore, 2009).
