Using both hypothetical choices and real behaviors in one cross-country survey and nine experiments, including three supplementary studies (<i>N</i> = 4,015), we found that (a) incremental theorists, who believed that beauty is malleable and improvable, took greater risks than entity theorists, who believed that beauty is fixed, and (b) an incremental belief of beauty heightens a sense of optimism that one will achieve positive outcomes in various domains of life, which consequently promotes risk-seeking behavior.

Across four studies using two different measures of implicit evaluations, two different prediction tasks, and multiple target categories, we replicated the key finding that people are quite accurate in predicting their performance on implicit measures.
