The present study aimed to explore the influence of sexual dimorphism on the evaluation of the attractiveness of one's own face. In the experiment, a masculinized and a feminized version of the self-faces of the participants were obtained by transferring the original faces toward the average male or female face. The participants were required to rate the attractiveness of three types (original, masculine, feminine) of their own faces and the other participants' faces in same-sex and opposite-sex contexts. The results revealed that the participants rated their own faces as more attractive than other participants rated them regardless of the sexually dimorphic type (original, masculine, feminine) or the evaluation context. More importantly, the male and female participants showed different preferences for the three types of self-faces. Specifically, in the same-sex context, the female participants rated their own original faces as significantly more attractive than the masculine and feminine faces, and the male participants rated their own masculine faces as significantly more attractive than the feminine faces; while in the opposite-sex context, no significant difference among the attractiveness scores of the three types of self-faces was found in both the male and female participants. The present study provides empirical evidence of the influence of sexual dimorphism on the evaluation of the attractiveness of self-faces.

性二态性对个人面孔吸引力评估的影响。

本研究旨在探讨性二态性对个人面部吸引力评估的影响。在实验中，通过将原始面孔朝向男性或女性的平均脸部转移，获得了参与者自身面部的男性化和女性化版本。要求参与者在同性和异性情境中对三种类型（原始，男性，女性）的脸部和其他参与者的脸部的吸引力进行评分。结果表明，无论性别两性类型（原始，男性，女性）或评估背景如何，参与者对自己的面孔的评价都比其他参与者对它们的评价更高。更重要的是，男性和女性参与者对三种类型的自我面孔表现出不同的偏好。具体而言，在同性情境下，女性参与者将自己的原始面孔评为比男性和女性面孔更具吸引力，而男性参与者将自己的男性面孔评为比女性面孔更具吸引力；在异性恋中，男女参与者的三种类型的自我面孔的吸引力得分之间没有显着差异。本研究提供了经验性证据证明性二态性对自我面孔吸引力的评估。男性参与者认为自己的男性面孔比女性面孔更具吸引力；在异性恋中，男女参与者的三种类型的自我面孔的吸引力得分之间没有显着差异。本研究提供了经验性证据证明性二态性对自我面孔吸引力的评估。男性参与者认为自己的男性面孔比女性面孔更具吸引力；在异性恋中，男女参与者的三种类型的自我面孔的吸引力得分之间没有显着差异。本研究提供了经验性证据证明性二态性对自我面孔吸引力的评估。
