The Effects Of Race And Gender Classification On Ficial Attractiveness Of Mixed Race And Androgyny

Facial attractiveness is a positive emotion which is evoked by the face,which is influenced by both the observer and the owner of the face.The average of faces is also an important factor in the influence of the surface attraction.The average face is more attractive because it represents the prototype of the human face,which makes it more fluent and more attractive.Previous research shows that the beauty-in-averageness effect may be more attractive because the individual don’t perceived that face is synthesized.when the individual have perceived face is synthesized,The beauty-in-averageness effect may be reversed,the degree of processing fluency may be a potential impact factors of facial attractiveness.Some of the real averaging face(mixed race faces),through the classification of faces to manipulate the processing fluency,found that part of the attractiveness of mixed race faces may come from the face whether or how to classify the classification.When the faces are not classified,mixed race faces may be more attractive,replicating the beauty-in-averageness effect.When the face is classified,the beauty-in-averageness effect is more attractive.However,the previous studies used faces that were close to moderately attractive faces,and the subjects were single.Therefore,this study was conducted in the experiment one and two in the Chinese subjects(Han),and the experiment was repeated in a previous study to examine whether the effects would be cross-cultural and cross-racial.In Experiment 2,the facial attractiveness was added to investigate the effects of different levels of attractiveness on the attractiveness of the opposite surface.In Experiment 3,the logic is extended to the face of androgyny,and whether the classification has the same effect on them.The results of Experiment 1 showed that the classification reduced the attractiveness of mixed race faces,whether it was white or Chinese subjects.When the faces are not classified,the Chinese subjects prefer to mix the faces of the ethnic groups and reproducethe beauty-in-averageness effect.However,the white subjects did not copy this effect,still showed a preference for white faces,the face of the family preferences.An additional result was also found in the experiment,which improved the attractiveness of white faces for Chinese subjects.Experiment 2 on the basis of Experiment 1,the level of facial attractiveness was added to investigate the effect of classification on the faces of different attractiveness levels.The experimental results show that the classification reduces the attractiveness level of highly attractive and moderately attractive mixed race faces,and has no effect on the low attractiveness of mixed race faces.In experiment 3,the influence was extended to the face of androgyny,and whether the classification would affect the level of androgyny.The experimental results show that,regardless of whether it is a single face or a pair of faces,the classification of the different faces of the high or medium level of attractiveness of the face have an impact,both reduced the attractiveness of the face.To sum up,the classification of the attractiveness of the opposite side of the hole has an impact,not only in the middle of the attractiveness of the mixed faces,but also reduces the classification of the attractiveness of the high attractiveness of mixed faces.The reasons for this result,may not only through the classification of the degree of difficulty(processing fluency degree)is explained,classification task itself may also play a certain role in as a result of this generation of attention resource.
