ImpactModerate impact

The discussions seem to reinforce the idea that perceptions of attractiveness are related to biological and genetic factors, which could influence societal views on race and beauty standards.

Abstract in brief

The study found that people generally find average faces attractive, especially when the faces are from their own race, with some variation based on gender and race.
Mixedrace (Eurasian) faces were often rated as more attractive and healthier than either pure ownrace or other-race faces, indicating that combining features from different races can enhance attractiveness.
The results suggest that perceptions of health might play a more significant role than familiarity or prototypicality in determining how attractive an average face appears to viewers.]

@Feeling_Haver Five minutes of reading it took me to know your citation is bullshit. Here’s some actual studies that say the opposite. https://t.co/lnG3hpUioI https://t.co/FAXiS5w7jK https://t.co/0TOHjxGhVM

@totenblume7 @NoContextVarg wdym? Is it because genetically white people are more likely to have things like bipolar? Am I stupid for thinking that half Asian people are the most attractive population? I found this study that says it makes the most sense for me to be into half Asians https://t.co/5d8wj1vDQy https://t.co/5eQlqCfgkJ

@RemyHii There was a study in Australia that looked at this issue. The professor at the Univ. of Western Australia who was first author in this article has written on the topic of a biological basis for beauty. https://t.co/CzhsZ5GySc
