Despite all the available research on the effects of physical attractiveness, the concept itself is far from clear. Ohanian (1990) explains that many definitions and operationalizations are available for the concept. A common critique is that many researchers tend to restrict their definitions of attractiveness to the facial area (Abrantes et al., 2007, Chiu and Babcock, 2002 and Ohanian, 1990). To present a more comprehensive definition of the concept, Chiu and Babcock (2002) define attractiveness to include more than merely facial features; this study adopts this definition: “The degree to which one's physical and facial image elicits favorable reactions from others” .
concludes that, although physical attractiveness is an abstract concept, and no absolute measures exist, individuals tend to agree in specific judgements of who is – and who is not – attractive.
