Finally, faces find favor (2006, background): “For example, the effect of facial masculinity on women’s judgments of men’s attractiveness is moderated by differences in their position in the menstrual cycle, with a greater preference for more masculine–looking men near the time of ovulation (Johnston, Hagel, Franklin, Fink, & Grammer, 2001; Pent”
Dominance and the evolution of sexual dimorphism in human voice pitch (2006, background): “…traits have smaller or less consistent effects on attractiveness (e.g., Johnston, Hagel, Franklin, Fink, & Grammer, 2001; Penton-Voak et al., 1999; Penton-Voak & Perrett, 2001) compared to their effects on dominance ratings (e.g., McArthur & Berry, 1987; Mueller & Mazur, 1997; Perrett et al.,…”
Male facial masculinity influences attributions of personality and reproductive strategy (2006, background): “Hence, a preference for feminized male faces could be partly due to the association of masculinized male faces and adverse behavioral patterns ( Penton-Voak & Perrett, 2001 ).”
MHC-heterozygosity and human facial attractiveness (2005, background): “Finally, as it is known that the stage of menstrual cycle influences women’s facial preferences ( Penton-Voak & Perrett, 2001; Penton-Voak, Perrett, Castles, et al., 1999), all women raters were tested in the late follicular phase, between 10 and 14 days after the beginning of their cycle, and none”
Cross-cultural effects of color, but not morphological masculinity, on perceived attractiveness of men's faces (2012, unknown): “…the follicular (fertile) phase and femininity preferred in the luteal phase (Johnston, Hagel, Franklin, Fink, & Grammer, 2001; Jones et al., 2005; Penton-Voak & Perrett, 2000; Penton-Voak & Perrett, 2001; Penton-Voak et al., 1999; Scarbrough & Johnston, 2005); (b) depending ⁎ Corresponding author.”
Mating context and menstrual phase affect women's preferences for male voice pitch (2005, background): “Moreover, women’s preferences for androgen-dependent features may be greater when evaluating men as short-term sex partners rather than as long-term mates (Penton-Voak et al., 1999; reviewed in Penton-Voak & Perrett, 2001).”
Major histocompatibility complex genes, symmetry, and body scent attractiveness in men and women (2003, background): “The male faces that women in the fertile phase of their cycle most prefer are more masculine than the faces they most prefer when in infertile phases (Johnston et al., 2001; Penton-Voak and Perrett, 2001; Penton-Voak et al., 1999).”
Populational differences in attractiveness judgements of male and female faces: Comparing British and Jamaican samples (2004, background): “Personality traits attributed to faces by strangers appear to have some accuracy, and there may be relationships (albeit complex) between testosterone, facial appearance and antisocial behaviour (see Penton-Voak & Perrett, 2001, for a tentative exploration of this link).”
High salivary testosterone is linked to masculine male facial appearance in humans. (2004, background): “…model to account for these findings suggests that shifting preferences represent adaptive trade-offs in mate choice (Gangestad & Simpson, 2000; Penton-Voak & Perrett, 2001) Masculinised faces elicit stereotypical attributions of coldness, dominance, and dishonesty (for a review, see…”
Quantifying the strength and form of sexual selection on men's traits (2013, methodology): “Eye width, lower face height/total face height, cheekbone prominence, and face width/lower face height were measured following Penton-Voak and Perrett (2001), and eye height, jaw angle, and nose width were measured following Burriss, Roberts, Welling, Puts, and Little (2011).”
