Chambers, John W., Jr.; And Others
Journal of Black Psychology, v20 n3 p305-24 Aug 1994
Investigated relationships between perceived attractiveness, facial features, and African self-consciousness (ASC) among 149 African American college students. As predicted, high ASC subjects used more positive adjectives in descriptions of strong African facial features than did medium or low ASC subjects. Results are discussed in the context of Afrocentric values. (SLD)
