Objective

Phenotypic markers associated with developmental stability such as fluctuating asymmetry, facial attractiveness, and reports of minor ailments can also act as indicators of overall physical health. However, few studies have assessed whether these markers might also be cues of mental health. We tested whether self- and other-perceived facial attractiveness, fluctuating asymmetry, and minor ailments are associated with psychopathological symptoms in a mixed sample of 358 college students, controlling for the effects of body mass index, age, and sex.

Methods

We applied the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) questionnaire to assess psychopathological symptoms, a battery of questionnaires about self-perceptions of facial attractiveness, and gathered information about the number of previous minor ailments as well as demographic data. Other-perceived attractiveness was assessed by an independent mixed sample of 109 subjects. Subjects’ facial fluctuating asymmetry was determined by geometric morphometrics.

Results

The results revealed that in both men and women, higher self-perceived attractiveness and fewer minor ailments predicted lower scores of Somatization, Obsessive–Compulsive, Interpersonal Sensitivity, Depression, Anxiety, Phobic Anxiety, Paranoid Ideation, Psychoticism, and a General Psychopathology Index. Higher facial fluctuating asymmetry was associated with higher Interpersonal Sensitivity, but did not contribute to its prediction when controlling for the other studied variables.

Conclusions

The observed strong associations between self-perceived attractiveness, minor ailments, and psychopathology indicate common developmental pathways between physiological and psychological symptomatology which may reflect broader life history (co)variation between genetics, developmental environment, and psychophysiological functioning.

自我感知的面部吸引力、波动的不对称和小病可预测心理健康结果

客观的

与发育稳定性相关的表型标记,如波动的不对称、面部吸引力和轻微疾病的报告,也可以作为整体身体健康的指标。然而,很少有研究评估这些标志物是否也可能是心理健康的线索。我们在 358 名大学生的混合样本中测试了自我和他人感知的面部吸引力、波动的不对称和轻微疾病是否与心理病理症状相关,控制了体重指数、年龄和性别的影响。

方法

我们应用 Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) 问卷来评估精神病理学症状、一系列关于面部吸引力自我认知的问卷,并收集了有关先前小病数量的信息以及人口统计数据。其他感知吸引力是由 109 名受试者的独立混合样本评估的。受试者的面部波动不对称由几何形态测量学确定。

结果

结果显示,在男性和女性中,较高的自我感知吸引力和较少的小病预示着躯体化、强迫症、人际关系敏感性、抑郁、焦虑、恐惧性焦虑、偏执观念、精神病和一般精神病理学指数的得分较低。较高的面部波动不对称与较高的人际敏感性相关,但在控制其他研究变量时对其预测没有贡献。

结论

观察到的自我感知吸引力、轻微疾病和精神病理学之间的强关联表明生理和心理症状之间存在共同的发展途径,这可能反映了遗传学、发育环境和心理生理功能之间更广泛的生活史(共)变异。
