Participants were also asked to consider if location impacted their willingness to mask, and were given scenarios like walking their dog or going to a job interview. Those who considered themselves really attractive were a lot more likely than others to skip wearing a mask for a job interview, according to CNBC.
“Our findings suggest that mask-wearing can shift from being a self-protection measure during the COVID-19 pandemic to a self-presentation tactic in the post-pandemic era,” the study authors wrote.
