Description: Masculine characteristics in men’s faces are often assumed to function as health cues. However, evidence for this assumption from empirical tests is mixed. For example, research on western women’s face perceptions found that masculinised versions of men’s faces were perceived to be older, but not healthier, than feminised versions. Since research on this topic has focused on western women’s face perceptions, we investigated the effects of masculinizing face images on Arab women’s perceptions of men’s health (Study 1, N = 211) and age (Study 2, N = 209). Arab women perceived masculinized versions of male face images to be older, but not healthier, than feminized versions. These results add to a growing body of evidence challenging the assumption that male facial masculinity functions primarily as a health cue.
