Women in the UK prefer the faces of men with low levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and the relationship is moderated by the sex hormone testosterone. In a Latvian sample, however, women's preferences were not affected by cortisol, and the interaction with testosterone differed from that of the UK. To further explore cross-cultural variation in preferences for facial cues to sex- and stress-hormones, we tested the preferences of women from 13 countries for facial composites constructed to differ in combinations of the hormones. We found significant relationships between a measure of societal development (the United Nations human development index 2011) and preferences for cues to testosterone in the face, and the interaction between preferences for cues to testosterone and cortisol. We also found a significant relationship between preferences for cues to testosterone and a societal-level measure of parasite stress. We conclude that societal-level ecological factors influence the relative value of traits revealed by combinations of sex- and stress-hormones.
英国女性更喜欢皮质醇水平较低的男性面孔，而这种关系受到性激素睾酮的调节。然而，在拉脱维亚样本中，女性的偏好不受皮质醇影响，并且与英国的情况不同，皮质醇与睾酮的相互作用也不同。为了进一步探索对性荷尔蒙和应激荷尔蒙的面部线索的偏好的跨文化差异，我们测试了来自 13 个国家的女性对通过激素组合构建的面部合成图像的偏好。我们发现，一种社会发展的衡量标准（联合国人类发展指数 2011 年）与对睾酮线索的偏好之间存在显著关系，以及对睾酮线索的偏好与对睾酮和皮质醇线索的相互作用之间存在显著关系。我们还发现，对睾酮线索的偏好与寄生虫压力的社会层面衡量标准之间存在显著关系。我们的结论是，社会层面的生态因素影响着由性荷尔蒙和应激荷尔蒙组合所揭示的特征的相对价值。
