  • Humans are not fooled by size illusions in attractiveness judgements

    Open AccessMargaret Bateson, Melissa Bateson et al.ARTICLEEvolution and Human Behavior2014

    Could signallers use size contrast illusions to dishonestly exaggerate their attractiveness to potential mates? Using composite photographs of women from three body mass index (BMI) categories designed to simulate small groups, we show that target women of medium size are judged as thinner when surrounded by larger women than when surrounded by thinner women. However, attractiveness judgements of the same target women were unaffected by this illu…

  • Differences in eye-movement patterns between anorexic and control observers when judging body size and attractiveness

    Open AccessHannah R George, Piers L Cornelissen et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology2011References: 46

    Attentional biases may influence the eye-movements made when judging bodies and so alter the visual information sampled when making a judgment. This may lead to an overestimation of body size. We measured the eye-movements made by 16 anorexic observers and 16 age-matched controls when judging body size and attractiveness. We combined behavioural data with a novel eye-movement analysis technique that allowed us to apply spatial statistical techniq…

  • Patterns of eye movements when male and female observers judge female attractiveness, body fat and waist-to-hip ratio

  • Preferences for body mass index and waist-to-hip ratio do not vary with observer age

    Several studies have suggested that mate selection strategies alter with age, but the mechanism of this shift in mate strategy is unclear. Two possibilities suggest themselves. The first is that attractiveness preferences themselves alter, compensating for the changing mate value of the observer. Alternatively, the preferences may remain constant with observer age, but an individual may compensate for changes in their own relative attractiveness …
