“…Since women's attractiveness was consistently found in all studied cultures to have more importance in mate choice than men's attractiveness (Buss 1989), some authors recently attempted to explain women's increased willingness to consider cosmetic surgery in an evolutionary framework. Findings of three studies conducted by Bradshaw et al (2019) confirm that expensive appearance-enhancing procedures such as cosmetic surgery may be part of a short-term mate choice strategy. The first study demonstrated that women who showed a preference for investing in short-term relationships expressed a more positive attitude towards expensive appearance-enhancing procedures (e.g.…”

In recent years, the popularity of surgical cosmetic procedures has dramatically increased in the Western world. The Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale (ACSS) provides a measure of psychological acceptance of cosmetic surgery. The original instrument (ACSS) contains three subscales (Interpersonal, Social, and Consider). Since its publication, the ACSS has been adapted for many languages. The primary objective of the present study was to develop the Hungarian version of the ACSS. Furthermore, focus was laid on whether the original factor structure could be replicated with a Hungarian sample despite expectable cultural differences from other national samples. To obtain cross-culturally comparable data, the same scales were used for psychometric analysis as those used in the development of the original ACSS and its various national versions. The Hungarian sample included 482 female participants aged between 18 and 68 years (M = 29.02, SD = 10.71), who completed a questionnaire battery. Validity of the Hungarian version was tested with the following measures: the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3 (SATAQ-3), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), the Body Appreciation Scale (BAS), and the Photographic Figure Rating Scale (PFRS) developed for women. The results show that the obtained Hungarian version of the ACSS is a reliable and valid measure, which enables researchers in the field to study Hungarian samples. Furthermore, the factor structure of the Hungarian scale is identical with that of the original ACSS, which enables reliable cross-cultural comparisons. For these reasons, the authors expect that the Hungarian ACSS will stimulate more in-depth quantitative research on attitudes towards cosmetic surgery within the Hungarian context, and it will also contribute to a better understanding of acceptance of cosmetic surgery from a cross-cultural perspective.

“…Previous studies also showed associations between cosmetic usage and financial status (Mafra, Castro & Lopes, 2015) and sociosexuality (Bartres et al, 2018;Bradshaw, Leyva, Nicolas, & Hill, 2019). In our study, income was weakly correlated with frequency of makeup usage and money spent on makeup; however this variable did not enter as significant predictor in the regression models.…”

“…However, they also found that it is a false cue to sociosexuality, because among similarly rated women there was no correlation between self-reported sociosexuality and makeup usage (but see . Another study showed that women's short-term mating effort was predicted with costly (cosmetic surgery) and not lowcost (makeup) procedures (Bradshaw et al, 2019).…”
