Men's facial width-to-height ratio predicts aggression: a meta-analysis.

Men's facial width-to-height ratio predicts aggression: a meta-analysis.

Recent research has identified men's facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) as a reliable predictor of aggressive tendencies and behavior. Other research, however, has failed to replicate the fWHR-aggression relationship and has questioned whether previous findings are robust. In the current paper...
