Study: Amid pandemic, masks make people more attractive
This was found out by scientists at Cardiff University, The Guardian reports. As noted by Michael Lewis, an expert at the School of Psychology at Cardiff University, a study conducted before the pandemic showed that people in medical masks arouse less sympathy from others because they are associated with diseases. “We decided to check whether this perception has changed, since masks have appeared everywhere, and decided to understand whether the type of mask matters,” the researcher said.

If true, it may well be impossible to reverse the sea change we signal.” https://t.co/Zk5ynVwf7p — Rafael Uehara (@rafael_uehara) January 13, 2022 It was revealed that, starting from the middle of the XIX century and ending in the 1980s, people more often used words related to logical reasoning, such as “therefore”, “determined” and “conclusion”, and less and less often – words denoting inner feelings and subjective beliefs. However, since the 1980s, the trend has gone in the opposite direction.
