kitchen knife | paintbrush | squirt gun | |
height Mean (SD) | 68.64 (2.51) | 68.07 (3.03) | 67.68 (3.03) |

muscularity Mean (SD) | 2.35 (1.08) | 2.17 (1.12) | 2.13 (1.06) |
Note. N=541. Estimated heights are in inches. The men whose hands were pictured holding the kitchen knife were estimated to be taller, larger, and more muscular than the other men (ps<.03). The men holding the squirt gun were estimated to be shorter and smaller than the men holding the paintbrush (ps<.01); see text for analyses.
