| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Extant studies have examined factors contributing to perception of attractiveness
of individual human faces. The present study examined whether observers could compare the group-wide attractiveness between two groups consisted of multiple members. Observers were briefly exposed with two frames of images each of which consisted of four faces and determined the one that they believed more attractive as a whole. The results indicated that discrimination accuracy was above chance level. Virtually identical pattern of the results was obtained when each group consisted of eight faces. Study 2 examined the effect of variance of members and found that larger variances decreased attractiveness when attractiveness of the members were low. Study 3 examined the effect of sanitary mask on attractiveness perception. We proposed a model that facial occlusion by a sanitary mask has a unique effect,
due to occlusion and unhealthiness priming.
