wiegie Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 http://psp.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/30/9/1186 Playboy Playmate Curves: Changes in Facial and Body Feature Preferences Across Social and Economic Conditions Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, Vol. 30, No. 9, 1186-1197 (2004) Terry F. Pettijohn, II & Brian J. Jungeberg Mercyhurst College Past research has investigated ideals of beauty and how these ideals have changed across time. In the current study, facial and body characteristics of Playboy Playmates of the Year from 1960-2000 were identified and investigated to explore their relationships with U.S. social and economic factors. Playmate of the Year age, body feature measures, and facial feature measurements were correlated with a general measure of social and economic hard times. Consistent with Environmental Security Hypothesis predictions, when social and economic conditions were difficult, older, heavier, taller Playboy Playmates of the Year with larger waists, smaller eyes, larger waist-to-hip ratios, smaller bust-to-waist ratios, and smaller body mass index values were selected. These results suggest that environmental security may influence perceptions and preferences for women with certain body and facial features.

Very very very few research papers in economics are funded by grants of any kind and I highly doubt that this project received any funding from anybody.

muck Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 So what you're saying is that my kleenex consumption is directly influenced by the economy? No, he's saying that certain aspects of your kleenex consumption is a function of what is going on in the broader economy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
