ABSTRACT:
This study was conducted to find whether symmetrical faces would be rated more attractive than asymmetrical faces. Participants were shown pictures of random actors with symmetrical and asymmetrical faces. They were asked to rate them on a scale from 1-10. Participants were randomly allocated in two different groups; control and experimental. The results of the study stated that participants rated symmetrical faces higher in the terms of attractiveness in comparison to asymmetrical faces , the two conditions did not have a significant difference in asymmetrical ratings and both of them prove the Halo effect.
