Study:
- In fact showed that even women with shorter, wider faces tend to be more sexually motivated and to have a stronger sex drive than those with faces of other dimensions.
- “Together, these findings suggest that facial characteristics might convey important information about human sexual motivations,” said lead researcher.
- The study adds to a growing body of research that has previously shown that certain psychological.
- And behavioural traits are associated with particular facial width-to-height ratios (known as FWHR).
- Researchers attributed differences in facial proportions to variations in testosterone levels during particular developmental periods, such as puberty.This hormone plays a role in forming adult sexual attitudes and desires.
In this paper, Arnocky and his colleagues showed the results of two separate studies conducted among students.
Experiment:
- In the first, 145 undergraduates who were in romantic relationships at the time completed questionnaires about their interpersonal behaviour and sex drive.
- The researchers also used photographs of the participants to determine their facial width-to-height ratio.
- The second study involved 314 students and was an extended version of the first study.
- In addition,which included questions about participants’ sexual orientation.
- The chances of them considering infidelity, and their sociosexual orientation.
- The latter is a measure of how comfortable participants are with the concept of casual sex that does not include love or commitment.
What findings suggest?
- The findings suggest that width-to-height ratios can used to predict a measure of sexuality in both sexes.
- Men and women with a high FWHR (therefore, square and wide faces) reported a greater sex drive than others.
