According to a research group led by Daniel C. Richardson of the Department of Experimental Psychology at University College London, the conventional wisdom that men compensate for their inadequacies as men by driving luxury cars , there are two possible explanations.
The first is 'sex.' This is a theory that claims that the conspicuous consumption of luxury sports cars acts as a ``peacock's tail,'' and at first glance it is an attempt to attract a sexual partner by showing off unnecessary waste. In fact, past research has shown that encouraging men to think about short-term relationships increases their desire for luxury goods, and that pairing photos of men with sports cars increases women's interest.
The second is 'self-esteem.' People tend to seek out luxuries when their sense of self-worth decreases, so imagining owning a luxury car is thought to restore self-esteem. However, there are many luxury goods other than cars, such as luxury watches, so the relationship between sports cars and penis size is unclear.
To test these hypotheses, Richardson et al. conducted an experiment on 195 British men aged 18 to 74. The participants were not told that this was a study on the relationship between male genital size and cars, and said, ``This experiment is about how people remember facts when purchasing products.'' He was told that.
After reading the trivia text, participants looked at an image of the product and operated a slider below it to indicate how much they wanted that product.
Of the 12 questions used in the experiment, 6 questions were designed to manipulate self-esteem, and the question that lowered self-esteem contained a trivia saying, ``The average size of an erect penis is 18 cm.'' On the other hand, the question that made it higher said '10cm'. According to a 2020
As a result of the experiment, it was found that men who were made to think that their penises were relatively small valued sports cars more highly. Furthermore, when we took age into account in our analysis, we found that while there was almost no effect of the self-esteem manipulation on people up to age 29, there was a significant difference for people over age 30.
The research team also conducted a similar analysis for all questions except for 'Sports cars and male genitalia.' The five luxury items other than sports cars are champagne, five-star hotels, spa vacations, Rolex watches, and designer sunglasses. Sentences such as ``On average, people have 12/2 sexual partners in their lifetime'' and ``People have 8/2 close friends on average'' were used to manipulate self-esteem. I got it.
However, for questions other than 'sports cars and male genitalia,' no evidence was obtained that evaluations of luxury goods are influenced by self-esteem at any age.
Regarding this result, the research team wrote in an unpeer-reviewed paper posted on the preprint server PsyArXiv, ``Making men feel that their penis is relatively small increased their desire for a sports car. Why a penis? This poses interesting questions for future research.The luxury car industry may be reluctant to acknowledge the link between penis size and sports car aspirations, but our research... The results should help them as well.'
