    "The current study examined the relationship between physical  attractiveness and self-actualisation. It was hypothesized that higher  levels of physical attractiveness lead to higher levels of  self-actualisation, as physically attractive and self-actualised people  share certain characteristics, such as inner-directiveness, sociability  and self-acceptance. To investigate this hypothesis, 119 participants  completed the Personal Orientation Inventory (POI) questionnaire as a  measure of self-actualisation and six professional judges rated the  participants’ level of physical attractiveness. The study revealed that  participants in the high attractiveness group scored significantly  higher on 7 of the 12 POI scales in comparison to the participants in  the low attractiveness group: Inner-Directed, Self-Actualising Value,  Feeling Reactivity, Spontaneity, Self-Regard, Self-Acceptance, and  Capacity for Intimate Contact. The role of self-esteem and the  self-fulfilling prophecy effect were discussed as possible explanations  for the findings."
