Journal Title: Psychology & Psychological Research International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
This study examined the phenomenon of facial asymmetry in the judgment of facial attributes during neutral expression. Eighty right handed male undergraduate students were asked to rate the intensity of emotion, healthiness, activeness and attractiveness of each presented photographs on seven point raring scales. The left side facial composites were judged as significantly more emotional and active than the right side facial composites, and the right side composites were judged as significantly healthier than the left side facial composites.
