The role of symmetry in attraction to average facesBenedict C Jones
Face Research Laboratory, School of Psychology, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, Scotland
Percept Psychophys 69:1273-7. 2007..Importantly, this latter finding was not explained by the greater perceived similarity between versions offaces that varied in averageness, but not symmetry, than between versions of faces that varied in both averageness and symmetry...- Evidence for menstrual cycle shifts in women's preferences for masculinity: a response to Harris (in press) “Menstrual cycle and facial preferences reconsidered”Lisa Debruine
