Women prefer male faces with feminine shape and masculine reflectance. Here, we investigated the conceptual correlates of this preference, showing that it might reflect women's preferences for feminine (vs. masculine) personality in a partner. Young heterosexual women reported their preferences for personality traits in a partner and rated male faces-manipulated on masculinity/femininity-on stereotypically masculine (e.g., dominance) and feminine traits (e.g., warmth). Masculine shape and reflectance increased perceptions of masculine traits but had different effects on perceptions of feminine traits and attractiveness. While masculine shape decreased perceptions of both attractiveness and feminine traits, masculine reflectance increased perceptions of attractiveness and, to a weaker extent, perceptions of feminine traits. These findings are consistent with the idea that sex-dimorphic characteristics elicit personality trait judgments, which might in turn affect attractiveness. Importantly, participants found faces attractive to the extent that these faces elicited their preferred personality traits, regardless of gender typicality of the traits. In sum, women's preferences for male faces are associated with their preferences for personality traits. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

眼所欲为心所欲：女性面部偏好与伴侣个性偏好有关。

女性更喜欢具有女性形状和男性反射的男性面孔。在这里，我们调查了这种偏好的概念相关性，表明它可能反映了女性对伴侣中女性（与男性）个性的偏好。年轻的异性恋女性报告了她们对伴侣个性特征的偏好，并根据男性气质/女性气质对男性面孔进行了刻板印象的男性化（例如支配地位）和女性化特征（例如温暖）的评级。男性的形状和反射增加了对男性特征的感知，但对女性特征和吸引力的感知有不同的影响。虽然男性形状降低了对吸引力和女性特征的感知，但男性反射增加了对吸引力的感知，并在较弱的程度上增加了对女性特征的感知。这些发现与性别二态性特征引起人格特质判断的观点一致，这可能反过来影响吸引力。重要的是，参与者发现面孔的吸引力在于这些面孔引发了他们偏爱的个性特征，而不管这些特征的性别典型性如何。总之，女性对男性面孔的偏好与其对个性特征的偏好有关。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。对男性面孔的偏好与他们对个性特征的偏好有关。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。对男性面孔的偏好与他们对个性特征的偏好有关。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
