Burke et al. conducted a study to examine racial homophily in preferences for opposite sex faces. 120 university students took part in the study (n=58 males, n=62 females). Participants were further comprised of three different ethnic-cultural groups: Australian-Europeans, Australian East-Asians or Hong-Kong East Asian. Participants rated 144 colorized photographs of subjects from three racial/ethnic groups: White South Africans, Black South Africans and 'primarily Korean Asian faces'. | |||
The Black and White faces were chosen because the prior institution of Apartheid in South Africa lessened the likelihood of mixed race individuals appearing in the facial databases. From these faces, several compound morphs of both single race and mixed race faces were created. It was found that the European faces were rated as the most attractive on average by participants from all the ancestries included in the study. It was found that contrary to previous studies, the mixed race faces were not rated as more attractive then single race compound faces, with the faces instead rated close to the mean level of the attractiveness of the two faces they were mixture of. | |||

* ''Overall, these data do not show an obvious own-race preference, since the European faces were rated as most attractive by all participants.

* ''For female participants there was a universal European face preference, and the Australian East Asian participants did not even rate own-race faces as second most attractive, instead rating African faces as equally attractive (for individual faces) or slightly more attractive (for compound faces) than East Asian faces.'' | |||
* ''Unlike Rhodes et al.(2005), but like Rhodes et al.(2001), we did not find that participants rated mixed-race faces as more attractive than single-race compound faces. In fact for most of the mixes, the mixed race face was rated at about the mean level of attractiveness for the two single race composites it was a mixture of.'' | |||
