Japanese male and female undergraduate students judged the gender of a variety of facial images. These images were combinations of the following facial parts: eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, and the face outline (cheek and chin). These parts were extracted from averaged facial images of Japanese males and females aged 18 and 19 years by means of the Facial Image Processing System. The results suggested that, in identifying gender, subjects performed identification on the basis of the eyebrows and the face outline, and both males and females were more likely to identify the faces as those of their own gender. The results are discussed in relation to previous studies, with particular attention paid to the matter of race differences.
日本男女大学生对各种面部图像的性别进行了判断。这些图像是以下面部部位的组合：眉毛、眼睛、鼻子、嘴巴和面部轮廓（脸颊和下巴）。这些部位是通过面部图像处理系统从18岁和19岁的日本男性和女性的平均面部图像中提取的。结果表明，在识别性别时，受试者基于眉毛和面部轮廓进行识别，并且男性和女性都更有可能将面部识别为自己性别的。结合先前的研究对结果进行了讨论，特别关注了种族差异问题。
