Most research on the stigmatizing effect of facial disfigurement has taken place in London, England. The present study found that irrespective of whether they were nurses or office workers, women both in Nigeria and in England rated faces that had a minor scar as less sociable, less attractive, and more dishonest than did women who saw the same stimulus faces when "normal." Few interactions were found between the variables of disfigurement, race of face, race of rater, and type of rater employment
