Question

An innovative program designed to help individuals living in homeless shelters find jobs and progress toward independent living provides makeovers for both men and women who are going on job interviews. The makeovers can include personal grooming, clothing, and even dental services. Are these programs likely to be helpful?

A. No, it is just a feel-good program for the volunteers who provide the makeovers.
B. Probably not, but it cannot hurt, either.
C. Yes, but only because people receiving makeovers feel cared about and that increases their self-confidence.
D. Yes, because people judged to be more attractive do better on job interviews, even when appearance is not related to the job.

Answer 1

D. Yes, because people judged to be more attractive do better on job interviews, even when appearance is not related to the job.

Step-by-step explanation:

This program refers to a population living in homless shelters. This means that people live in precarious conditions, and most likely won´t have the money to worry about how they look. Poor peolple often don´t have the money or the oportunities to have clean clothes, or to look presentable for a job interview.

Since appliying for a job requires to attend in good conditions, and the way a person looks, affects the impression that others might have on them, this makes the program to be helpful.
