By comparison, an image showing a fuller lower lip (1:2 ratio) was perceived as less attractive, with an average rating of 2.16 out of 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in the eye-tracking analysis the participants spent less time looking at the \u201cnatural\u201d lips they found most attractive. In contrast, they stared more at the digitally altered lips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dr Cotofana says this is unsurprising, abolishing the assumption that people spend more time looking at something they find attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVisual stimuli that match the internal, socially influenced standard of beauty require less effort to be perceived,\u201d according to Dr Cotofana.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn contrast, visual stimuli that do not match the internal standard of beauty require more processing time \u2014 as reflected by involuntary eye movements as captured by eye tracking.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mishaal Arshad C.M Underground News Eye-tracking devices find viewers spend more time looking at lips considered less attractive.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":16609,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_appearance_grid":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[93,76,71,101,34],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health","category-important-news","category-latest-news","category-science-and-technology","category-world","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=16605"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16605\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16610,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16605\/revisions\/16610"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/16609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=16605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=16605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/undergroundnews.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=16605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
