Superficial charm (or glib charm) is the tendency to be smooth, engaging, charming, slick and verbally facile.〔Hare's checklist, as cited in 〕 The phrase often appears in lists of attributes of psychopathic personalities, such as in Hervey M. Cleckley's ''The Mask of Sanity'', and Robert D. Hare's Hare Psychopathy Checklist.〔Hare, Robert D. (1991). "The Hare Psychopathy Checklist" (Revised). (North Tonawanda, NY: Multi-Health Systems)〕 Associated expressions are "charm offensive", "turning on the charm" and "superficial smile". == Early history == Classical rhetoric had early singled out the critical category of the superficial charmer, whose merit was purely verbal, without underlying substance. In the nineteenth century, George Eliot explored the darker side of the Victorian feminine ideal, concluding bleakly that there was little worse than the narrow minded kind of femininity sheltering behind an artificial charm of manner. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「superficial charm」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
