Computer graphic studies of the role of facial similarity in judgements of attractiveness. Penton Voak, I S, Perrett, D I, & Peirce, J W Current Psychology: Developmental, Learning, Personality, Social, 18(1):104–117, 1999. abstract bibtex Using computer graphic techniques, opposite sex facial stimuli were generated from Ss' photographs. In Exp 1 the effects of similarity between participants and stimuli on judgements of facial attractiveness were investigated in 52 female and 23 male Ss (mean age 21 yrs). Exp 1 showed a correlation between attractiveness and similarity, but this effect could be explained by the attractiveness of average faces. There was also a trend found for individual Ss to rate opposite sex images with a similar face shape to their own face as more attractive than other Ss. Exp 2 allowed 40 female and 21 male Ss (mean age 21 yrs) to interactively manipulate an opposite sex facial image along a continuum from a self-similar shape, through an average face shape, to a face with opposite characteristics. No significant preferences for self-similar or opposite characteristics were found. It was found that preferences for average faces were stronger than preferences for self-similar faces.
