The current study examined the relationship between women’s physical attractiveness – as rated by themselves and a set of third-party raters – and their mating strategy and sexual experience. Male (N = 105) and female (N = 113) undergraduates rated the attractiveness of face and body photographs of 93 female undergraduates. Attractiveness ratings – particularly bodily attractiveness ratings – w...

An impressive empirical literature suggests that physical attractiveness is associated with interpersonal attraction and with specific personality traits, some of which are favorable and many of which are objectively unrelated to attractiveness. Interestingly, much of the research investigating the impact of attractiveness on liking and personality inference has not accounted for the role of th...

The correlation of physical attractiveness in romantic partners has been widely documented. However, it has also repeatedly been demonstrated that people are largely unaware of their own attractiveness, which raises the question about the mechanism responsible for the within-pair matching. One hitherto unexplored possibility is that low accuracy in attractiveness self-assessments results from m...

Nowadays, there is a rich diversity and huge volume of data from satellite sensors. Due to their attractiveness and singular characteristics, they are increasingly gaining importance in the research context. Concomitantly, the volume of remote sensing data is quickly growing. Thus, the computational modeling of such data involves many challenges, including a large set of algorithms and techniqu...

this study aimed to describe the concepts and characteristics of wilson's information seeking behavior model, as the highly cited pattern in information seeking behavior debates and tracing its completion, expansion and development process. wilson's information seeking behavior model is the base for other subsequent related models. it has been the highly cited model amongst other information se...

This paper provides a general analysis of cooperative amplify-and-forward relay networks and gives a unified and comparative view of various proposed systems. The studied cooperative relay networks offer spatial diversity gains that conventional multi-antenna systems often fail to achieve due to limitations of the feasible number of antennas per terminal and correlated propagation. We first pre...

Facial attractiveness has been studied extensively, but little research has examined the stability of facial attractiveness of individuals across different stages of development. We conducted a study examining the relationship between facial attractiveness in infants (age 24 months and under) and the same individuals as young adults (age 16-18 years) using infant and adult photographs from high...

Is narcissism related to observer-rated attractiveness? Two views imply that narcissism is unrelated to attractiveness: positive illusions theory and Feingold’s (1992) attractiveness theory (i.e., attractiveness is unrelated to personality in general). In contrast, two other views imply that narcissism is positively related to attractiveness: an evolutionary perspective on narcissism (i.e., sel...

A. L. Austin observed, in a letter written to Charles Darwin in 1877, that a composite of two faces was strikingly attractive. Mr. Austin placed two different portraits in a stereoscope and noticed that they fused into a single portrait. He wrote: “The faces blend in the most remarkable manner, producing in case of some ladies portraits, in every instance, a decided improvement in beauty” (Galt...
