对男性舞蹈吸引力评估的研究表明，评分员会得出与男性交配相关的素质信息，并将其纳入吸引力评估中，但之前的研究主要集中在非专业评价员(即没有专业舞蹈背景的个人)，而不是舞蹈专家。我们招募了男性和女性俄罗斯舞蹈专家(n=23)来评判中性、平淡无奇的虚拟角色，这些虚拟角色以英国男性的动作捕捉舞蹈动作和步态为动画，并将他们的舞蹈评估与一组俄罗斯男性和女性非专业评审员(n=73)的舞蹈评估进行比较。舞蹈专家提供的舞蹈和步态吸引力判断比非专业评审员更高。两组受试者都认为步态动作比舞蹈动作更具吸引力。在专家和非专业评审员之间的吸引力评估上，男性法官的差异大于女性法官。在另一项调查中，舞蹈专家(与非专业评审员)更加强调与舞蹈相关的能力和技能的重要性。我们参考过去由非专业评委评估的舞蹈/步态吸引力的研究以及专业知识在评估身体运动中的作用来讨论我们的发现。
Research on attractiveness assessments of men's dance has shown that raters derive and integrate information about male mating-related qualities into their attractiveness assessments, but prior studies have focused on lay assessors (i.e., individuals with no professional dance background) rather than dance experts. We recruited male and female Russian dance experts (n = 23) to judge gender-neutral, featureless virtual characters, animated with motion-captured dance movements and gaits of British men, and compared their dance assessments to those from a group of Russian male and female lay assessors (n = 73). The dance experts provided higher dance and gait attractiveness judgments than the lay assessors. Both groups judged the gait movements to be of higher attractiveness than the dance movements. Differences in attractiveness assessments between experts and lay assessors were larger for the male judges than for the female judges. In an additional survey, the dance experts (versus lay assessors) placed greater emphasis on the importance of dance-related capacities and skills. We discuss our findings with reference to past research on dance/gait attractiveness as assessed by lay judges and the role of expertise in assessing body movement.
