面孔吸引力极端性假设的验证实验

he averageness hypothesis concluded that the average face was more attractive than component faces，which had been tested and supported in several studies before. In order to test the averageness hypothesis further on, we used faces of different levels of attractiveness to composite average face, and participants were asked to pick out the more attractive one between the average face and a component face. The result: to female faces, 4 of 32 component faces are more attractive than average face; to male faces, 2 of 32 component faces are more attractive than average face. According to this result, we put forward extreme hypothesis of facial attractiveness.
