Users of dating applications tend to rate a face attractive if the photograph above it was, confirming the theory that “love” is in the second blow click, according to a study published today .
“Love or lust at first sight is a cliché that has been maintained for years Our research lends weight to a new theory. People are more likely to find love in click the second stroke, “said study author Jessica Taubert of the University of Sydney.
The experiment, which was published in the journal Scientific Reports, was performed with a group of university students who was tasked qualify attractive or unattractive profile 60 men taken from Hot dating application or not, according to a statement from the university.
Each participant was shown a photograph of the profile of a person on a screen for 300 milliseconds, before it was replaced with the still image of a white cross that remained visible until that qualifying attractive or unattractive issued.
“Participants were offered a binary choice rather than a spectrum of rating to reflect the system used by popular applications such as Tinder,” Taubert said, referring to his study “The love at second sight. sequential dependence facial attractiveness in a paradigm of online dating “.
Researchers led by Taubert found that the binary judgments are linked to rapid adaptation and therefore, in this study, the participants were a face attractive if so was that they had seen previously.
For his research, Taubert, with David Alais, University of Sydney, and Erik Van der Burg from the University of Amsterdam, applied the concept of serial dependence used in the visual sciences.
“The serial dependence was the backbone of our study. If the serial dependence is true, the value or judgment in a situation depends on the judgment of another (situation). Our study found that serial dependence is present in the assessment of users Tinder “said the expert in psychology.
In a second stage of the experiment, the scientists analyzed whether the influence of the display of the previous picture was natural or cognitive perception tendentious because in some cases laziness leads people to fall into a pattern of responses as pressing the same button over and over again.
“Some evidence suggests that the origin of this effect is in the visual system, which means that the current face is perceived as more or less attractive (depending on the image above), rather than participating simply change the way they respond or fall into a pattern, “said Taubert.EFE
