The results showed general agreement on the beauty of this image, with bell-shaped variation in responses around the mean, indicating a shared perception of beauty.
Rather than agreeing with symmetrical bell-curve variation, two separate bell curves were the result, showing that assessments of beauty vary considerably among individuals.
The researchers conclude that our perceptions of beauty are individual, with a high degree of variation, influenced significantly by personal experiences and cultural backgrounds.
People in Western cultures generally find beauty in symmetry, suggesting that cultural context plays a critical role in how beauty is perceived.
