남성이 여성의 얼굴 모습을 보고 매력을 느끼는데 영향을 미치는 요인들에 관해서 다음 가설들을 검증하였다. 먼저 선행연구에서 남자 대학생들이 여성의 얼굴에서 매력을 느끼는데 큰 영향을 미치는 남성성-여성성, 이지성-맹함의 두 차원들을 알아낸 결과가 30대에서도 일관되게 나타나는지 알아보았다. 다음으로 여성의 얼굴에서 남성이 매력을 느끼는데 영향을 미치는 성격 및 태도 요인들 가운데 남성성, 전통적 성역할에 대한 신념, 지배성, 외향성, 그리고 의존성이 여성 얼굴의 남성성-여성성, 이지성-맹함의 두 차원들의 효과를 조절하는지 알아보았다. 30대 남성 129명을 대상으로 수행된 본 연구의 중요한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다: ⑴ 남성들은 여성스러운 얼굴 모습의 여성에 대해서는 그 여성이 맹해 보이든지 이지적으로 보이든지 상관없이 매력적이라고 평가하였지만, 이와 달리 남성스러운 얼굴 모습의 여성에 대해서는 이지적으로 보일 때보다 맹해 보이면 덜 매력적이라고 평가하였다. ⑵ 남성성이나 전통적 성역할 신념이 높은 남성, 혹은 의존성이 낮은 남성들은 각각 남성성이나 전통적 성역할신념이 낮은 남성, 혹은 의존성이 높은 남성들보다 남성스러운 얼굴 모습의 여성을 더 매력적이지 않다고 평가하였다. 또한 전통적 성역할 신념이 높은 남성과 의존성 수준이 낮은 남성들은 여성스러운 얼굴 모습의 여성을 더 매력적이라고 평가하였다. ⑶ 지배성, 외향성, 및 전통적 성역할 신념이 높은 남성들은 낮은 남성들에 비해서 여성스럽고 맹한 얼굴 모습의 여성을 더 매력적이라고 평가하였다.
This study examined the following hypotheses: First, as found in the previous study(Lee & Hahn, 2003) with male college students, both of the 'womanly- manly' and ‘intelligent- dull' facial dimensions would be also important in the attractiveness ratings of women's faces among men in their 30s. Second, sex-role beliefs, masculinity, dominance, extroversion, and dependency of men would moderate these effects. The main findings of this study were as follows : (1) Men rated womanly faces as more attractive than manly faces, and men rated manly and dull faces as less attractive than the faces in the other conditions; (2) Manly female faces were rated as less attractive by men who were high in masculinity, high in traditional sex-role, or low in dependency. And womanly female faces were rated as more attractive by men who were high in traditional sex-role or low in dependency; (3) Women with the womanly and dull faces were rated as more attractive by men who were high in dominance, extroversion, or traditional sex-role. The implications of this study and suggestions for future study were discussed.
