Results obtained using simultaneous regression method. F statistics are indicated for the overall model and t statistics for individual coefficients. Effect size: R2 (model); Partial eta squared (variables). β indicates the standardized beta coefficient and CI the confidence interval based on 1000 bootstrap samples. Only significant and marginally significant (p≤0.08) coefficients are indicated. Higher values for the colour components indicate a lighter, yellower and redder complexion. High values for the shape components seem to indicate: higher facial adiposity and/or robustness (shape component 9); lower femininity and/or neoteny (shape component 8 and 4).
