Abstract: Literature suggests that observers can perceive and judge the average facial expression or attractiveness from multiple faces presented simultaneously.This phenomenon is called "ensemble perception."In ensemble perception, observers extract the faces of individuals from a collection.The present study examined the number of extracted individual faces involved in the ensemble perception of facial attractiveness.Participants were briefly exposed to two sets of images in the experiment.Each set consisted of four faces.They selected the set that they thought to be more attractive.The selection rate of the set was higher the more attractive faces were in the set.We compared the selected set's regression line with that of the expected values when participants randomly extracted one, two, or three faces from each group.This analysis suggested that even in ensemble perception of facial attractiveness, participants make judgments by extracting a small number of faces from the set.
