Nu vet man varför folk inte brukar studera eller jobba iklädda endast baddräkt. Amerikanska forskare har nämligen studerat hur människor klarar av krävande uppgifter när man är lätt klädd och koncetrerar sig på sitt yttre. Man kom fram till att:
"When the results were in, the researchers found that the men did about the same on the math test whether they were wearing a swimsuit or a sweater. In fact, the guys did slightly better in swim trunks. The women, however, had significantly lower math scores if they were wearing the swimsuits. "
Forskningen handlade tydligen inte om att hitta den optimala skoldräkten, utan om nåt mera seriöst:
"It’s a small study, and the results need to be replicated, but the researchers agree that it could start to explain why girls’ academic performance goes down at about the same time they’re becoming more aware of their bodies and society’s unreasonable expectations for women’s appearance. "
