This study aimed to assess the impact of target faces' skin tone and perceivers' skin tone on the participants' attractiveness judgment regarding a symmetrical representative range of target faces as stimuli. Presented with a set of facial features, 240 Mozambican adults rated their attractiveness along a continuous scale. ANOVA and Chi-square were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that the skin tone of the target faces had an impact on the participants' attractiveness judgment. Overall, participants preferred light-skinned faces over dark-skinned ones. This finding is not only consistent with previous results on skin tone preferences, but it is even more powerful because it demonstrates that the light skin tone preference occurs regardless of the symmetry and baseline attractiveness of the stimuli.
本研究旨在评估目标面孔的肤色和感知者的肤色对参与者针对一系列作为刺激物的对称代表性目标面孔的吸引力判断的影响。240名莫桑比克成年人在看到一组面部特征后，按照连续量表对其吸引力进行评分。采用方差分析和卡方检验对数据进行分析。结果显示，目标面孔的肤色对参与者的吸引力判断有影响。总体而言，参与者更喜欢浅肤色面孔而非深肤色面孔。这一发现不仅与先前关于肤色偏好的结果一致，而且更具说服力，因为它表明，无论刺激物的对称性和基线吸引力如何，对浅肤色的偏好都会出现。
