“Easy On the Eyes” is no B.S.
Seed magazine covers a new study released that finds prototypical faces are what humans find attractive. It’s not a geometry thing or even a perceived health thing; it’s the actual ease of processing the image and recognizing it as human that we find attractive.
“There is always this question in psychology or in experimental aesthetics: Is there some sort of psychological principle that can explain a lot of what people find attractive, not only in terms of faces or people, but things in general?” said Piotr Winkielman, a psychologist at the University of California, San Diego and the study’s lead author. “This idea of ease-of-processing seems like a good candidate.”
