特里和布雷迪(1)报告称，面部成分对女本科生对自己整体面部吸引力的自我评价的相对贡献因佩戴的视觉矫形剂类型而异。在这一变量中，口腔区域的影响最大，其次是眼睛、头发、鼻子和面部结构(形状和肤色)。然而，由于这份订单是由自我打分产生的，一名法官对她的几个组成部分的吸引力的评分很可能相互污染了。根据评委对其他人脸部个别部分的评分，可以更好地估计某一部分对整体面部吸引力的相对影响。受试者，25名男性和25名女性高加索本科生，被展示了两种颜色的4X G-in。5名男性和5名女性的肖像照片，他们的种族和年龄与受试者相同。每对照片的一张都被从背景中去掉，粘在一张中性灰色的档案卡上。另一对成员被解剖成单独的面部成分，即。、嘴巴、眼睛、头发、鼻子和面部结构，它们被粘贴到类似的档案卡上，并在反面编码，以便以后进行匹配。60个刺激物按顺序呈现给受试者，受试者在10分制中勾选合适的水平，其中1代表吸引力的最低水平，而10代表吸引力的最高水平。每个受试者对吸引力的10个综合评分与他对各个组成部分的评分相关。系数越高，就越认为某一成分在决定某一特定受试者的整体吸引力方面越重要；因此，一种关系的符号或方向被忽略了。然后将这些相关性的绝对值转换为zs，并计算受试者的性别(男性/女性)X分量(嘴/眼/头发/鼻子/面部结构)的方差分析。被试性别和交互作用的F值均小于1.00，但各成分均达到显著水平(F=5.53，df=4/192，p<；0.01)。将平均zs转换回ss，得到以下组件的重要性顺序：嘴(r=.53)、眼睛(r=.44)、结构(r=.43)、头发(r=.3 4)，鼻(S=.31)。除了面部结构，这正是Terry和Brady(1)的平均结果得出的顺序。然而，在这项研究中，面部结构明确地指的是肤色和形状，而这里的结构是当去除其他成分时面部剩下的全部。因此，在这两项研究中，这一成分没有得到可比的处理。这项研究复制和扩展了Terry和Brady的研究，证明他们的秩序可以通过对他人面部孤立成分的感知以及通过自我感知来产生。
Terry and Brady (1 ) reported that the relative contribution of a facial component to female undergraduates' self-ratings of their over-all facial attractiveness varied with the type of visual corrective worn. Averaging across this variable, the oral region was the most influential component, followed in order by the eyes, hair, nose, and facial structure (shape and complexion). However, since this order was generated by selfratings, a judge's ratings of the attractiveness of her several components were likely to have been contaminated by each other. A better estimate of the relative influence of a component in over-all facial attractiveness would be afforded from judges' ratings of isolated components of other persons' faces. Subjects, 25 male and 25 female Caucasian undergraduates, were shown two-color, 4X G-in. portrait photographs of 5 males and 5 females of che same race and approximate age as the subjects. One photograph of each pair was removed from its background and glued to a neutral grey file card. The other pair member was dissected into the separate facial components, viz . , mouth, eyes, hair, nose, and facial structure, which were pasted onto similar file cards and coded on the reverse side to permit later matching. The deck of 60 stimuli was presented to the subjects in a shuffled order and subjects checked an appropriate level of a 10-point scale on which "1" represented the lowest level of attractiveness and "10" represented the highest level. Each subject's 10 over-all ratings of attractiveness were correlated with his ratings of the respective components. The higher a coefficient, the more important a component was assumed to be in determining a given subject's rating of over-all attractiveness; hence, the sign or direction of a relationship was ignored. The absolute values of these correlations were then transformed to zs, and an analysis of variance, sex of subject (rnale/female) X component (mouth/eyes/hair/ nose/facial structure), was computed. The F ratios for the sex of subject and the interaction were less than 1.00, whereas the components were significant (F = 5.53, df = 4/192, p < .01). Transforming the average zs back to ss resulted in the following order of importance for the components: mouth ( r = .53), eyes ( r = .44), structure ( r = .43), hair ( r = . 3 4 ) , and nose (s = .31). Except for facial structure, this is precisely the order obtained by averaging Terry and Brady's (1) results. However, facial structure in that study explicitly referred to complexion and shape, whereas here structure was all that remained of the face when the other components were removed. Therefore, this component was not treated comparably in the two studies. This study replicates and extends Terry and Brady's by demonstrating that their order can be generated by perceptions of the isolated components of other persons' faces as well as by self-perceptions.
