Impact of Skin Color on Motivation to View Faces:

Male participants are needed for a 15 minute study about skin color. You will spend 10 minutes (2 x 5-minute blocks) viewing faces, but how long you look at each face is completely up to you! You will be paid £2.50 for your participation. You can sign up online using the SONA system (view study here), or by emailing the experimenter.

 

Perfect Looks:

We invite you to participate in a study designed to investigate what makes a face attractive. 3D images of men and women's faces will be presented to you on a computer screen, and you will be asked to rate their attractiveness in a short- and long-term relationship context. You will be asked to give information on demographic data such as your age and gender, as well as information on, for example, your attitudes towards sex, risk-taking behaviour, parental relationships, or personality. The study takes place in the Perception Lab, School of Psychology, and will take about 45 minutes. You can sign up online using the SONA system (view study here), or by emailing the experimenter.

 

Beauty is Only Skin Deep:

Participants are needed for a 1 hour study about gender differences in skin color. You will be asked to manipulate the skin colous of a series of faces to make them look most attractive or most sex-typical. You will be paid £5 for your participation. You can sign up online using the SONA system (view study here), or by emailing the experimenter.

 

Hormonal & Mood Effects on Face Perception:

We are conducting several studies that look at variations in face preferences and behavior in relation to mood and hormonal status. This study is open to men & women who HAVE CHILDREN. The study takes approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. Participants will be asked to provide a saliva sample for hormone analysis (collected non-invasively using the passive drool method). You will be paid £5 per hour for participation. If you are interested in participating, please email the head experimenter. You can also participate online, without needing to provide a saliva sample or recieving payment by clicking here.
