Ansigtpræferencer påvirker vigtige sociale beslutninger som partnervalg, venskaber og ansættelser. Vi gennemgår ansigtstræk, der påvirker skønnet om attraktivitet, samt kilder til individuelle forskelle i præferencer, såsom hormonniveauer og personlighed. Forskningen viser komplekse systemer, der maksimerer fordele i sociale relationer.

Facial Attractiveness: Evolutionary Based Research.

Hele abstrakt på originalsprog:
Face preferences affect a diverse range of critical social outcomes, from mate choices and decisions about platonic relationships to hiring decisions and decisions about social exchange. Firstly, we review the facial characteristics that influence attractiveness judgements of faces (e.g. symmetry, sexually dimorphic shape cues, averageness, skin colour/texture and cues to personality) and then review several important sources of individual differences in face preferences (e.g. hormone levels and fertility, own attractiveness and personality, visual experience, familiarity and imprinting, social learning). The research relating to these issues highlights flexible, sophisticated systems that support and promote adaptive responses to faces that appear to function to maximize the benefits of both our mate choices and more general decisions about other types of social partners.
