Description: This drawing of two male figures is a remake of the drawing of the leg-to-body ratio (LBR) extremes used in the experiment by Swami et al. (2006) to find out what LBR is considered the most attractive for men and women. The male figure with the lowest LBR and shortest legs who is depicted on the viewer's left had the highest average attractiveness ratings whereas the male figure with the highest LBR and longest legs who is depicted on the viewer's right had the lowest average attractiveness ratings from both the British men and women who rated the images for the experiment. The citation for the paper is below. Swami, V et al. (2006). The leg-to-body ratio as a human aesthetic criterion. Body Image, 3(4), 317-323.
