The study explored the emotional responses of men and women when labeled nonintelligent and unattractive by various reference groups—child(ren), spouse, father, mother and generalized others. Questionnaires were administered to 151 men and women. The findings indicated that (1) women were more likely than men to experience the label of being unattractive, (2) the label was differentially applied by various reference groups, and (3) women responded to being labeled unattractive with hurt, embarrassment and sadness
