Given the situation in the world, nowadays, many countries have introduced the mandatory wearing of masks. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania in the course of the experiment came to the conclusion that the mask makes a person more attractive in the eyes of other people. The study involved 500 random people. They were shown the faces of people in masks and without, their attractiveness was assessed. "Faces with surgical masks were more often assessed as more attractive," the results of the experiment said. In certain cases, a medical mask improved the perception of others by 70%. “We think it's a matter of symmetry. Symmetrical faces are considered beautiful. And the mask hides possible asymmetries (nose, teeth, lips, chin). And the face looks beautiful to us,”the researchers said. According to psychologists, when we do not see the part of the face hidden by the mask, our imagination begins to "think out" and draws an ideal image for us, reports Noticia.ru. Earlier, TV channel 360 wrote about why Russians do not want to wear masks. Alexander Confisakhor, Associate Professor of the Department of Political Psychology, St. Petersburg State University, believes that people simply do not believe in the importance of protecting against coronavirus infection.
