“…This finding is perhaps unsurprising, given that the same figure is also typically selected as the most physically attractive and ideal by Western participants (e.g., Swami, Buchanan, Furnham, & Tovée, 2008;Swami et al, 2012;Swami, Taylor, & Carvalho, 2011). That is, it is likely that, in our participants' perceptions, "what was beautiful was good" (Dion, Berscheid, & Walster, 1972); the underweight figure, which may have been perceived as maximally attractive, was likely judged as having more desirable qualities than less attractive figures.…”
