A recent research paper in JPRAS analysed the impact of eyebrow elevation and lateral canthus (outer eye corner) elevation on the perception of character traits.
Findings of the Study
The study found that increasing eyebrow height reduced attractiveness, femininity, and trustworthiness, and increased masculinity, dominance, threat, and disgust, especially among female respondents.
“Differences in the perception of gender characteristics were observed between the male and female respondents. Similar effects were observed with lateral canthus elevation, impacting attractiveness, femininity, masculinity, and trustworthiness negatively, while enhancing dominance, threat, and disgust. Combined eyebrow and lateral canthus adjustments reinforced these trends, highlighting their influence on perceived character traits. Differences in the perception of gender characteristics were observed between the male and female respondents.
Male and female perceptions differ in assessing character traits following the elevation of the eyebrow and lateral canthus. Females perceive eyebrow and lateral canthal elevation or their combination as reducing femininity, whereas males do not share this perception. Additionally, traits such as attractiveness, trustworthiness, masculinity, dominance, threat, and disgust were rated similarly by males and females.” Read more
