腰臀比（WHR）和乳房大小是与女性吸引力相关的形态特征。先前的研究使用女性的线条画表明，不同文化背景下的男性都认为低腰臀比（0.6和0.7）最具吸引力。在这项研究中，我们使用了额外的观察测量（即，第一注视持续时间和视觉回归）来测量视觉注意力并记录参与者第一次关注女性身体的时间以及他们是否回归到感兴趣的区域。此外，我们还对肤色进行了调整，以确定他们是喜欢浅色皮肤还是深色皮肤的女性。在两个眼动追踪实验中，参与者根据腰臀比（0.5-0.9）、乳房大小和肤色对女性裸体图像的吸引力进行评分。我们测量了第一次注视持续时间，凝视持续时间和总时间。这两项研究的总体结果显示，视觉注意力主要集中在女性身体的面部、乳房和腹部，这支持了进化论观点，即女性身体的生殖相关区域对女性吸引力很重要。由于刺激的肤色不同，参与者主要是墨西哥裔美国人后裔的西班牙裔，这些研究的结果也支持对低WHR和女性身体生殖相关区域的偏好。
Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and breast size are morphological traits that are associated with female attractiveness. Previous studies using line drawings of women have shown that men across cultures rate low WHRs (0.6 and 0.7) as most attractive. In this study, we used additional viewing measurements (i.e., first fixation duration and visual regressions) to measure visual attention and record how long participants first focused on the female body and whether they regressed back to an area of interest. Additionally, we manipulated skin tone to determine whether they preferred light- or dark-skinned women. In two eye tracking experiments, participants rated the attractiveness of female nude images varying in WHR (0.5–0.9), breast size, and skin tone. We measured first fixation duration, gaze duration, and total time. The overall results of both studies revealed that visual attention fell mostly on the face, the breasts, and the midriff of the female body, supporting the evolutionary view that reproductively relevant regions of the female body are important to female attractiveness. Because the stimuli varied in skin tone and the participants were mainly Hispanic of Mexican American descent, the findings from these studies also support a preference for low WHRs and reproductively relevant regions of the female body.
