That doesn't mean that we all have exactly the same sense of beauty - for the human face one half of our attractiveness judgement is idiosyncratic/subjective or depending on context variables, but the other half is shared within the population. There is NO SINGLE piece of evidence in the attractiveness research literature backing your claim that beauty is purely subjective.Ulrich Renzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897408594246389120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-15263380985192616782008-04-13T22:08:00.000+03:002008-04-13T22:08:00.000+03:00There is no such thing as an attractive or unattra...There is no such thing as an attractive or unattractive face. There are many reasons for this, primarily that our perception of faces depends on a wide array of factors, such as 1. distance, lighting, use of makeup, facial hair, hair coloring, hair style, expression, social context, etc. and 2. the prior conditioning of the viewer, social expectations, the relationship to the viewer, the emotional state of the viewer, etc., etc.<BR/><BR/>What is really being studied in this research are the many and various effects of photography, which can, in the hands of a professional, make just about anyone look either "attractive" or "unattractive."DocGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17359004200002936544noreply@blogger.com
