β0, mean rating for superfemale images in female participants; β1, estimate for the effect of sex of image (original male or female); β2, estimate for the effect of morphing (0–140); β3, estimate for the effect of sex (male or female) or gender (masculine or feminine) of participants; β4, estimate for the effect of sexual attraction (attraction toward males or females); υ0id, random effect of participants on intercept of rating; υid:image, random effect of participants and image on intercept of rating; υid:morph, random effect of participants and morphing on intercept of rating; υid:ident, random effect of participants and face identity on intercept of rating; εij, residual variance; imagei, sex of image (original male or female); morphj, morphing level (0–140); sexk, sex of participants; GERASk, gender of participants (masculine or feminine); GISl, sexual attraction of participants (attraction toward males or females); AIC, Akaike information criterion; BIC, Bayesian information criterion; LMM0, basic model; LMM1, model with interaction effect of sex; LMM2, model with interaction effect of gender; and LMM3, model with interaction effect of gender and sexual attraction.
