Abstract(s)
A razão cintura-anca (RCA) é uma medida de atratividade. Com este estudo pretendemos explorar
em crianças a influência da origem geográfica na sua perceção de atratividade. Com idades
compreendidas entre os 7 e os 15 anos, observaram 7 silhuetas manipuladas na largura da anca,
apontando a que consideravam a mais bonita, para o seu género e para o oposto. As crianças de 7
anos selecionaram silhuetas mais magras como as mais bonitas/ atraentes; e, com a idade, ocorreu
uma diferenciação progressiva entre géneros. Por origem geográfica, nenhuma diferença
significativa foi encontrada entre os géneros; exceto nas crianças rurais para o género feminino,
com as meninas a escolher uma RCA menor. As crianças de origem metropolitana não
diferenciaram RCA entre géneros, mas situam-no numa proporção de corpo saudável. As crianças
de origem não metropolitana escolheram uma RCA significativamente inferior para o género
feminino, e uma RCA próxima de 0,9 para o género masculino. Talvez, uma menor diferença nos
papéis de género possa explicar os resultados das crianças metropolitanas.
The waist-to-hip ratio (RCA) is a measure of attractiveness. With this study we intend to explore in children the influence of geographic origin on their perception of attractiveness. Aged between 7 and 15 years old, they observed 7 silhouettes manipulated in the width of the hip, pointing to which they considered the most beautiful, for their gender and for the opposite. Seven years old selected thinner silhouettes as the most beautiful / attractive; and, with age, there was a progressive differentiation between genders. By geographical origin, no significant differences were found between genders; except in rural children for the female gender, with girls choosing a smaller RCA. Children of metropolitan origin did not differentiate RCA between genders, but placed it in a proportion of a healthy body. Children of non-metropolitan origin chose a significantly lower RCA for females, and an RCA close to 0.9 for males. Perhaps a smaller difference in gender roles may explain the results of metropolitan children.
