GARASSINI CHAVEZ, María Elena  e  VALLE MANSO, Valeria. Beauty Appraisal Based on Personality and Belief Strengths In Venezuelan Adults. Psicogente [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.34, pp.278-292. ISSN 0124-0137.  https://doi.org/10.17081/psico.18.34.504.

This paper aims to describe cultural beliefs and manifestations related to beauty appraisal as a personality strength. 100 Venezuelans were sampled; a personal strengths and beliefs questionnaire related to beauty appraisal (VIA) was used to conduct this research. It was concluded that beauty appraisal as a Venezuelan personality strength is in an intermediate position. Beauty recognition, especially in nature, is highlighted among Venezuelan beliefs, but significant differences between men and women were found. Male and female physical beauty as well as esthetics in nature and sports are emblematic aspects of Venezuelan culture.
