Concordant preferences for actual height and facial cues to height

Abstract: a b s t r a c tPhysical height has a well-documented effect on human mate preferences. In general, both sexes prefer opposite-sex romantic relationships in which the man is taller than the woman, while individual preferences for height are affected by a person's own height. Research in human mate choice has demonstrated that attraction to facial characteristics, such as facial adiposity, may reflect preferences for body characteristics. Here, we tested preferences for facial cues to height. In general, increas… Show more

“…It is worth noting that simply increasing the length of people's faces (in photographs) can lead observers to perceive them as taller (Re & Perrett, 2012). In the present studies, however, pictures were standardized to a height of 300 pixels after the frame was cropped as tightly as possible to the vertical extremes of the head.…”

“…This process (a) computes the average x and y values for 188 facial landmarks within the set of face images, (b) warps each shape of each facial image into these average coordinates, and then blends the warped component images (Re & Perrett, 2012;Tiddeman et al, 2001). These average images were then made symmetrical to emphasize the role of the cues being investigated (see Perrett et al, 1999).…”

“…St. Andrews Professor Perritt [5] sought to answer the question first in in 1994 in a study related to men's perception of women's' faces having various emotion. He discovered that men from different cultures perceived the same group of women as beautiful and tried to learn the highest ranking (most beautiful) features through CV techniques.…”

“…Thus, the 'above average' (see figure2) was added to original imagery, making it very difficult (due to blur/artifacts) for computer vision to learn what defines beauty. [3], (b) average face beauty add to normal faces increased their ranking [4], (c) Apparent height of the face has positive correlation in men's perception of beauty, opposite in women [5].…”
