In addition to attractiveness,Plaut said other traits such as intelligence and personality might also cement social connections. “I think anything that is typically used to sort as a matter of choice,” she said.
普劳特说， 除了吸引力之外，诸如聪慧度和个性等特质可能也能巩固一个人的社会联系。“我觉得在那种只要你愿意就可以与人建立关系的环境中（意指城市），任何被用来将一个人定为有吸引力或无吸引力的典型因素我们都可以加强一下（来巩固社会联系）。”她说。
The findings suggest the importance of being attractive to your happiness is not universal, and that its significance is more a matter of culture than human nature.
从这些发现中我们了解到，外表的魅力对于你的快乐的重要性并不是通用的， 这其中的意义在于，吸引力与快乐的关系更多的是文化问题，而不是人类的天性问题。
