Our reactions to facial self-resemblance could reflect either specialized responses to cues of kinship or by-products of the general perceptual mechanisms of face encoding and mere exposure. The adaptive hypothesis predicts differences in reactions to self-resemblance in mating and prosocial contexts, while the by-product hypothesis does not. Using face images that were digitally transformed to resemble participants, I showed that the effects of resemblance on attractiveness judgements depended on both the sex of the judge and the sex of the face being judged: facial resemblance increased attractiveness judgements of same-sex faces more than other-sex faces, despite the use of identical procedures to manipulate resemblance. A control experiment indicated these effects were caused neither by lower resemblance of other-sex faces than same-sex faces, nor by an increased perception of averageness or familiarity of same-sex faces due to prototyping or mere exposure affecting only same-sex faces. The differential impact of self-resemblance on our perception of same-sex and other-sex faces supports the hypothesis that humans use facial resemblance as a cue of kinship.
我们对面部自我相似性的反应可能反映了对亲属关系线索的特殊反应，或者是面部编码和单纯暴露的一般感知机制的副产品。适应性假说预测在交配和亲社会情境中对自我相似性的反应存在差异，而副产品假说则不然。通过使用经过数字变换以与参与者相似的面部图像，我发现相似性对吸引力判断的影响取决于评判者的性别和被评判面部的性别：面部相似性对同性面部吸引力判断的提升作用大于对异性面部的作用，尽管使用了相同的程序来操纵相似性。一项对照实验表明，这些影响既不是由异性面部比同性面部相似度更低造成的，也不是由于原型化或单纯暴露仅影响同性面部而导致对同性面部平均性或熟悉度的感知增加所致。自我相似性对我们对同性和异性面部感知的不同影响支持了人类将面部相似性用作亲属关系线索的假说。
