Head Tilt and Fertility Contribute to Different Aspects of Female Facial Attractiveness

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Subjective attractiveness ratings of facial portraits of women taken at the fertile phase of the menstrual cycle are higher than those of portraits of the same women taken during non-fertile periods. As female faces tilted downward are rated as more attractive and female courtship behaviours change across the menstrual cycle, we investigated whether systematic downward tilt of women's faces during the fertile phase might be responsible for increased attractiveness ratings. In the original study (Proc. R. Soc. Lond. B, 271, 2004, S272), the fertile-phase portrait of each woman was deemed more attractive in 56-62% of cases. When the portraits were reclassified by head pitch, the more downward-tilted portrait was preferred in 64-73% of cases. The fertile-phase portrait was no more likely to be the downward-tilted one, however, suggesting that effects of fertility on attractiveness are not simply due to changes in head position. We also had these portraits rated (N = 130) for physical attr
