使用广义 Procrustes 方法和多元回归分析研究平均度和对称度对面部吸引力判断的影响。参与者 (n = 114) 对 96 张表情中性的面孔照片的吸引力进行了评分。通过广义的 Procrustes 方法，面及其镜像反转版本被表示为超平面上的点。每个个体的平均度和对称度都被定义为平面上的距离。进行多元回归分析以检查对称性和平均性对每个性别的影响。对于男性面孔，对称性和平均性都会对吸引力评分产生积极影响，并且平均性和对称性的影响没有差异。另一方面，对于女性面孔来说，只有平均程度才会影响吸引力，而对称性则不会。然而，这些影响并不大。 (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
Effects of averageness and symmetry on the judgment of facial attractiveness were investigated using a generalized Procrustes method and multiple regression analyses. Participants (n = 114) rated attractiveness of 96 photographs of faces with neutral expressions. Through a generalized Procrustes method, the faces and their mirror-reversed versions were represented as points on a hyperplane. Both averageness and symmetry of each individual were defined as distances on the plane. A multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the effect of symmetry and averageness for each gender. For male faces, both symmetry and averageness affected attractiveness ratings positively, and there was no difference between the effects of averageness and symmetry. On the other hand, for female faces only averageness affected attractiveness, whereas symmetry did not. However, these effects were not large. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
