The eye color of targets had a limited impact on attractiveness ratings. Blue-eyed men were perceived as more attractive than brown-eyed men by female Portuguese raters (r = -0.36, n = 60, p < 0.01,>
To explain the pattern of correlations among different countries, we examined the relationship between HDI and facial attractiveness. We computed Kendall correlations between the HDI and values of bivariate correlations between the Czech ratings and ratings of each target country. Fig 3 shows a significant relationship for male faces (? = 0.67, n = 9, p = 0.01, 95% CI [0.25, 1]), but not female ones (? = 0.44, n = 9, p = 0.10, 95% CI [-0.10, 0.86]). Graphs for both sexes, however, indicate that participants in low-HDI countries disagree with Czech raters more, whereas European and Brazilian participants, i.e. Continue reading Cross-cultural contract on the effect out-of elegance
