Facial Attractiveness: Evolutionary, Cognitive, and Social Perspectives

Product Description
Using evolutionary, cognitive, and social psychology, this volume examines the issues raised by the question, “What makes some faces more attractive than others?” The authors challenge the views that beauty is simply in the “eye of the beholder,” that it is idiosyncratic, and that it is nothing more than an artifact of culture and argue instead that there are a variety of biological, social, motivational, and developmental issues involved in facial attractiveness. By exploring attractiveness and preference from these various perspectives, this collection offers profound and unique insight on how and why we are attracted to certain facial types, and how that attraction can impact our social interaction.
