It is hypothesized that a figure with sides and angles in complex ratios (that is, other than 1:1) makes an aesthetic impression only when the complex ratios entail simple ones. An experiment is reported in which twelve pairs of line drawings were presented in which one drawing (A) always contained one or more 1:1 ratios, whereas in the other drawing (B) such simple ratios could not be indicated. In seven pairs the A pattern was preferred significantly. In this context, the alleged aesthetic appeal of the golden section is discussed.
据推测，一个边和角呈复杂比例（即非1:1）的图形，只有当这些复杂比例蕴含简单比例时，才会给人留下美感。本文报告了一项实验，其中展示了十二对线图，其中一幅图（A）总是包含一个或多个1:1的比例，而在另一幅图（B）中则无法指出这样的简单比例。在七对线图中，A图案明显更受青睐。在此背景下，还讨论了所谓的黄金分割的美学吸引力。
