Sj. Mckelvie et B. Mclellan, THE EFFECTS OF AGE AND GENDER ON PERCEIVED FACIAL ATTRACTIVENESS - REPLY, Canadian journal of behavioural science, 26(2), 1994, pp. 205-209
Three major criticisms of our study are addressed. We acknowledge some
methodological weaknesses, but maintain that it provides a meaningful
test of sociobiological theory. Although the major result was a negat
ive relationship between age and perceived attractiveness, we conclude
that the theory receives qualified support, with 4 out of 6 revised p
redictions confirmed.
