两项研究，一个是2到3个月大的婴儿，一个是6到8个月大的婴儿，被用来研究婴儿对有吸引力的面孔的偏好。研究人员使用了一种标准的视觉偏好技术，向婴儿展示了一对彩色幻灯片，这些幻灯片是由其他成年人评价的成年女性的面部吸引力。结果表明，当面孔以对比的吸引力（吸引力/不吸引力）呈现时，年龄较大的婴儿和年龄较小的婴儿都更长时间地看着有吸引力的面孔。当这些面孔被成对呈现在相似的吸引力水平（有吸引力/有吸引力vs.没有吸引力/没有吸引力）时，年龄较大的婴儿而不是年龄较小的婴儿会更长时间地注视有吸引力的面孔。研究结果挑战了人们普遍持有的一个假设，即吸引力的标准是通过逐渐接触当前的美的文化标准而习得的，仅仅是“在旁观者的眼中”。".
Two studies, one with 2- to 3-month-olds and one with 6- to 8-month-olds, were conducted to examine infant preferences for attractive faces. A standard visual preference technique was used in which infants were shown pairs of color slides of the faces of adult women previously rated by other adults for attractiveness. The results showed that both the older and younger infants looked longer at attractive faces when the faces were presented in contrasting pairs of attractiveness (attractive/unattractive). When the faces were presented in pairs of similar levels of attractiveness (attractive/attactive vs. unattractive/unattractive) the older but not the younger infants looked longer at attractive faces. The results challenge the commonly held assumption that standards of attractiveness are learned through gradual exposure to the current cultural standard of beauty and are merely "in the eye of the beholder.".
