N2 - This article analyzes the effect of interviewers’ physical attractiveness oncooperation rates in face-to-face interviews and survey responses (self-reportson physical appearance, weight, and health). This article includes four aspectsof physical attractiveness (facial attractiveness, voice attractiveness, body massindex [BMI], and height) and reports that (1) interviewers with more attractivefaces and lower BMI have higher cooperation rates, (2) differences in interviewers’personality (Big Five, Rosenberg self-esteem) account for about onethird of the total effect of facial attractiveness on cooperation rates, and (3)being interviewed by a more attractive interviewer leads to more positive selfreports on physical appearance, weight, and health (but does not affect selfreportsunrelated to physical appearance).
