Women who place their own sexual and candid photos in social media, are addressed in other ladies as less cute in appearance.

Among other things with them less hunt to talk and they are perceived as less able to execution of job tasks.

This conclusion is the result of the study came senior teacher of psychology of the Institute of Oregon Elisabeth Daniels (Elizabeth Daniels). Her article published in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture. Briefly with the work can be found on the web site of the Institute of Oregon. The scientist created 2 fake profile on a social network Facebook under the name Amanda Johnson (Amanda Johnson). Two 20-year "owner of" data 2 accounts preferred artists such as Lady Gaga, books and films, as, for example, "Twilight" and "the Diary of memory"that, considering the opinion Daniels, appropriate to their age.

The difference was only in the photo. In one profile were causing photo, in other simple. "Sexual" photo "Amanda" is dressed in a red dress with neckline to mid-thigh, and with a noticeable on the leg garter. On "non-sexual" she wears jeans, a shirt with short sleeves and around her neck scarf wrapped.

Participants of the study were 58 adolescents aged 13 to 18 years of age and 60 young lady aged 17 to 25 years. They randomly showed 1 of profiles "Amanda" and begged him to answer a few questions. They promised to estimate external seductiveness heroine ("I think she's attractive"), social appeal ("I think she could be my friend"), and the ability to perform specific tasks ("I am convinced that it will do the job"). The scale was set from 1 to 7: unit means "completely disagree", seven - "completely agree".

In all variants of "non-sexual" account was evaluated above. From this we can conclude that in the eyes of women "ordinary" Amanda looked young women more attractive tend to friendship and able to perform the task. The last point has caused the greatest unanimity in the responses: most girls-respondents were not confident in the ability of "sexual" Amanda to get the job done.

"It is the conviction of sexual photographs in social media, " says Daniels. - At the moment on young girls, students also being pressured to those photographed in the image of sexy women, but the publication of such photos in the network may have more negative results than positive".
