Facial shape and judgements of female attractiveness. Perrett, D I, May, K A, & Yoshikawa, S Nature, 368(6468):239–242, 1994. ISBN: 0028-0836abstract bibtex Used Caucasian and Japanese female faces to determine face shapes responsible for judging female attractiveness and examined the cross-cultural aspects of these data. Caucasian composites were shown to 36 Caucasians (aged 22-46 yrs) and preferences were selected from pairs of composites. Composite Japanese faces were shown to 26 Japanese undergraduates (aged 19-29 yrs) and to 36 Caucasian undergraduates (aged 19-26 yrs). All composites were tagged as either average, high, or high + 50%. In all groups of Ss, the high composite was selected over the average, and the high + 50% selected over the high. Similar preferences were found when using male faces. Results show that highly attractive faces are systematically different in shape from average faces. The similarity of attractive facial characteristics across 2 cultures is consistent with the claim that such characteristics are functionally significant.
