Headline: People who think they're attractive are less likely to wear masks, a study shows

Paper: Post COVID-19, still wear a face mask? Self-perceived facial attractiveness reduces mask-wearing intention

Self-perceived attractiveness was negatively correlated with mask attractiveness belief (r = −0.26, p < 0.001) and mask-wearing intention (r = −0.17, p = 0.009), both of which were positively correlated with each other (r = 0.49, p < 0.001)

But if you go click on the "supplemental data" link:

Third, on the other hand, ethnicity showed inconsistent patterns. Ethnicity was not significantly associated with self- perceived attractiveness in Study 1 (r = .07, p = .26) and Study 2 (r = .09, p = .08), while they were significantly correlated in Study 3 (r = .10, p = .046), indicating that the scores of self-perceived attractiveness were higher among ethnic minorities than among Whites. Regarding mask attractiveness belief, ethnicity showed non-significant correlations (Study 1: r = .07, p = .26; Study 2: r = -.01, p = .82; Study 3: r = .07, p = .16). Finally, ethnicity was associated with mask-wearing intention in Study 1 (r = .16, p = .01) and Study 2 (r = .13, p = .02), such that ethnic minorities tended to have a stronger mask-wearing intention than Whites.

So, yeah, white people who think they're more attractive are less likely to wear masks.
