Friends and family define our ideas of beauty

February 10, 2009 on 1:03 am | In skin care & beauty | No Comments
The adage says that everything depends on the glass with that look, but friends and family Molde our ideas about what makes a beautiful face, a study suggested.

When asked 113 adults to qualify the beauty of several faces, researchers found that the brothers, friends and spouses were more likely to coincide with each other than with strangers.

The results indicate that perceptions of beauty are not only a matter of individual taste or cultural influences broader. They also affect our social circles smaller.

It is possible that the relationship is inverse: spend time with a person depending, in part, our ideas of beauty, explained one of the authors of the study, Dr. Richard Russell, of Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

But the brothers tended to agree on what faces them seemed beautiful and that relationship, Russell noted, is something we can not choose.

Studies over the past two decades found that there was some sort of standards “universal” beauty that unites different cultures. There will also be cultural influences, as the opinion of people from the same culture tend to agree that more people from different backgrounds.

“But there is much disagreement among individuals” on what a beautiful face, said Russell. Previous studies showed that the faces that a person may find “exciting” to other would not be as attractive.

Russell and his colleague, Dr. Matthew Bronstad, of Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts, investigated whether there would be any “social organization” in all this: Do people agree more with their friends than with strangers in what is beautiful?

The team collected 20 married couples, 20 pairs of brothers and 41 pairs of friends, each participant described 74 faces of Caucasian students from 1 to 7 ( “very attractive” to “unattractive”).

The team compared the responses of all participants with other unknown persons.

The researchers found that most people agreed that those who had close relationships were not known. Also, the level of agreement tended to increase as the number of years in daily contact.

“One possibility is that people who spend much time together to see the same people,” said Russell. Familiarity, he explained, would help train our preferences attraction.

According to Russell, understand how people develop their standards of attractiveness matters beyond the game of conquest.

Other studies suggest that the perceived attractiveness would determine the treatment of people in everyday life, which influences such vital issues as the probability of getting a job or get good income.
