Recall that Perrett et al. (1994) created two kinds of composite faces, an average attractive composite and a highly attractive composite, using photographs of Caucasian and Japanese men and women.
They then asked participants in Great Britain and Japan to rate these faces. They found all of the following EXCEPT that
a. the highly attractive composites were rated as significantly more attractive than the average attractive composites.
b. Japanese and British participants differed in their assessments, with people preferring faces from their own ethnicity.
c. the highly attractive faces were more extreme in the features that are generally considered attractive (e.g., if high cheekbones in general are attractive, then highly attractive faces have higher cheekbones).
d. the features that were considered attractive were similar to the features found to be attractive by other researchers.
