Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Two experiments were conducted to investigate which, if any, facial part might have greater influence on facial attractiveness. Subjects were asked to rate attractiveness of intact faces, part-deleted faces, isolated parts(Experiment1), and part-exchanged faces(Experiment2). Results indicated (1)that the eye-and eyebrow area is an important determinant of facial attractiveness, compared to that of the nose or the mouth, (2)that facial outline can affect facial attractiveness if internal features are already attractive, and (3)configuration may be important for attractive faces but not for unattractive faces.
