   Sep 1, 1999 · Most of these studies have created symmetric face images by aligning one half face with its mirror reflection Kowner 1996, Langlois et al. 1994, Samuels et al. 1994 (Figure 1c–d). These techniques may induce additional stimulus differences unrelated to symmetry. The mirror reflecting technique can introduce abnormal feature shapes.

   Why do people prefer symmetrical faces?

   • The preference for symmetrical faces is not limited to sexual attraction and mate selection. Facial symmetry appears to influence how we pursue friends and allies as well. Of course, we all want a “high-quality” mate and co-parent of our children, but we also want friends that are high quality and, dare I say it, high status.

   Does symmetry affect facial attractiveness?

   • These nonaverage face shapes may be preferred if they remain symmetric ( Johnstone 1994; for a discussion of the problems of disassociating the effects of symmetry and averageness, see Swaddle and Cuthill 1995 ). In this way, symmetry is one factor contributing to the spectrum of influences on facial attractiveness.

   Does facial symmetry affect mate selection?

   • When the shape of facial features is varied (with skin textures held constant), increasing symmetry of face shape increases ratings of attractiveness for both male and female faces. These findings imply facial symmetry may have a positive impact on mate selection in humans.

   Does human body symmetry correlate with attractiveness?

   Is there emotional symmetry on both sides of the face?

   • Let me explain. When we smile, a genuine happy smile, there will be symmetry of emotion on the face even though our faces are not in and of themselves symmetrical. So even though both sides are slightly different, true emotions will be seen equally across both sides of the face—in essence, emotional symmetry.

   What asymmetry affects a human face?

   • The larger eye is also usually higher. The nostrils usually show asymmetry in their size and shape as well, and the height and size of the ears can be surprisingly asymmetric also. All of this asymmetry adds up to a symmetry score for each human face, and these symmetry scores strongly influence how attractively we rate faces.
