Effects of averageness and symmetry on the judgment of facial attractiveness were investigated using a generalized Procrustes method and multiple regression analyses. Participants (n=114) rated attractiveness of 96 photographs of faces with neutral expressions. Through a generalized Procrustes method, the faces and their mirror-reversed versions were represented as points on a hyperplane. Both averageness and symmetry of each individual were defined as distances on the plane. A multiple regression analysis was performed to examine the effect of symmetry and averageness for each gender. For male faces, both symmetry and averageness affected attractiveness ratings positively , and there was no difference between the effects of averageness and symmetry. On the other hand, for female faces only averageness affected attractiveness, whereas symmetry did not. However, these effects were not large.
使用广义普罗克汝斯忒斯方法和多元回归分析，研究了面部平均性和对称性对面部吸引力判断的影响。参与者（n = 114）对96张中性表情面孔的照片的吸引力进行了评分。通过广义普罗克汝斯忒斯方法，将面孔及其镜像反转版本表示为超平面上的点。每个人的平均性和对称性都被定义为平面上的距离。进行多元回归分析以检验对称性和平均性对每个性别的影响。对于男性面孔，对称性和平均性都对面部吸引力评分有正向影响，并且平均性和对称性的影响之间没有差异。另一方面，对于女性面孔，只有平均性影响面部吸引力，而对称性则没有。然而，这些影响并不大。
