Visual Perception of British Women’s Skin Color Distribution in Two Nonindustrialized Societies, the Maasai and the Tsimane’

In women with lightly pigmented skin in particular, facial skin color homogeneity decreases with age, primarily due to chronic exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR), leading to a decrease in perceived health and attractiveness. Perception of female skin may be influenced by continuous exposure to, and thus familiarity with, age-related changes in visible skin condition in a given society. Men and women of two traditional societies, the Maasai (Tanzania) and the Tsimane’ (Bolivia), unfamiliar with lighter colored skin, judged images of British women’s facial skin for age, health, and attractiveness. In both samples, images with homogeneous skin color (from the cheeks of younger women) were judged to be younger and healthier and received a stronger preference than corresponding images with heterogeneous skin color (from older women). We suggest that (i) human sensitivity for quality-related information from facial skin color distribution is universal and independent of any known age-dependent variation in skin in a given population and (ii) skin discoloration is universally associated with less positive judgment

Data on Particles and Resonant States, 1967

This data survey is an updating (at the end of 1966) of that of October 1965 (Rosenfeld et al. Rev. Mod. Phys. v. 37 (1965) pp. 633-651). An intermediated version was distributed at the XIII International Conference on High Energy Physics held at Berkeley in August and September 1966. The final version has been compiled since the Conference, and will be published in Rev. Mod. Phys., January 1967. This is an updating, to Aug. 1967, of our January compilation [Rev. Mod. Phys. 39, 1 (1967)]. This edition will not be published; it, and separate wallet sheets, will be distributed at the Heidelberg Conference. Data on the properties of leptons, mesons, and baryons are listed, referenced, averaged, and summarized in tables and wallet cards. The data survey is an updating of that of October 1965 (Rosenfeld et al. Rev. Mod. Phys. v. 37 (1965) pp. 633-651). An intermediate version was distributed at the XIII International Conference on High Energy Physics held at Berkeley in August 1966. This time a large number of early data and references have been deleted from the listings; these pioneer works can be found in any earlier edition

Data on Particles and Resonant States 1968

Data on the properties of leptons, mesons, and baryons are listed, referenced, averaged, and summarized in tables and wallet cards. This is an updating of the Reviews of Modern Physics article of January 1967
