Physical attractiveness: sexual satisfaction, promiscuity and infidelity
| Resumo: | Attractiveness refers to positive characteristics, and good physical appearance is one of these traits (Hartz, 1996). If attractiveness is an important aspect in interacting with others, it is possible that it influences certain behaviors, namely those involved in intimate relationships. Therefore, this study sought to relate attractiveness with sexual satisfaction, promiscuity and infidelity. The sample had 206 participants, 164 females and 42 males, aged between 18 to 54 years. Results showed a significant positive correlation between self-perceived attractiveness promiscuity. In order to further access participant’s attractiveness we took photographs of their faces, and they were shown to independent evaluators. These photographs were then used to create a Portuguese database of human faces. This database presented uniform conditions in all photos and included one folder per participant, with nine photographs of different expressions and some personal information, which is an improvement over existing database. |
