Abstract(in English) Facial attractiveness and positive expression perception are key issues in nonverbal social communication. In this paper, we investigate the possible effect of facial attractiveness bias in smile expression perception, and propose a statistical likelihood that attractive female persons tend to present smile expression with lower physical intensity than unattractive female persons. To test this claim, two dimension of expression (naturalness or expression intensity (EI)) were rated in two experiments. In experiment 1, subjects rated 55 image target persons with smile expression of uncontrolled physical intensity, no obvious attractiveness bias was observed. In experiment 2, in order to compensate for influence of varying degree of physical expression intensity for different image target persons, we constructed a set of controlled expression intensity stimuli with same target face set using graphics morphing technology. The result indicated a pronounced statistical significance of attractiveness bias. Finally, the possible potential relationship of attractiveness bias and smile expression perception is discussed.
