Abstract
The present study investigated the relative contribution of
four characteristics to attractiveness of the female body:
waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), breasts, buttocks and thighs. Using
a program for computer animation (DAZ 3D) 81 female
figures were generated. Figures were created as combinations
of 4 characteristics 3 equidistant sizes (small, medium and
large). Participants (N=260) of both genders rated the figures
on 5-step attractiveness scale. Multiple regression analyses
have shown that WHR and breast size are significant partial
predictors of attractiveness for both male and female
participants: the smaller the WHR and the larger the breasts,
the higher the attractiveness ratings.
