I haven't quite decided if I think this study is fascinating or absolutely ridiculous. I'm leaning towards the ricidulous. (thx EL3 for the tip)
From MSNBC...
The results showed that black CEOs who rated high on the babyface scale worked for companies that ranked higher in the Fortune 500 and had higher annual revenues than blacks with more mature faces. The reverse was true for whites — the more babyfaced CEOs tended to work for companies that ranked lower and had less annual revenue.
Black CEOs also were described as significantly more babyfaced than white CEOs. The female CEOs were rated as having more mature faces than both blacks and whites.
Livingston said the study indicates that "disarming" characteristics, which have been shown to hinder white executives, can help black leaders.
