Hi, folks. I'm hoping someone can give me a citation for a famous study on beauty standards. It was a psychological social psych experiment that involved showing people pairs of pictures and asking them to rank them in terms of beauty. The study found that there are certain facial characteristics (fullness of lips, size of eyes, lightness of skin, and so on) the defined beauty and that those standards transcended race, class, culture, and so on. Does anyone have a citation handy?
Thanks, A.
