| Abstract(in English) | A positive correlation between symmetry and attractiveness has been clarified by many studies. However, the level of effect has not been considered comparing with the other factors. In this paper, important cues for attractiveness/beauty were investigated by the questionnaire method and attractiveness/beauty rating tests were conducted using symmetry and eye size controlled faces. Because it is known that the larger eyes increase the facial attractiveness. The rating test investigated that the eye size is more important cue than the symmetry of a face. Although the symmetry faces increase the attractiveness but the effect of symmetry was smaller than that of eye size. Not only the faces that the both eyes were larger than those of the original symmetry faces were rated more attractive/beautiful, but also the face that has a larger eye was rated more attractive/beautiful than the symmetry faces. These results indicate that asymmetry face can be evaluated more attractive/beautiful than symmetry face. |
