Can evolution explain high heel shoes
This piece originally appeared on Pacific Standard,[url=http://duveticajacketswomenjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカ 店舗[/b][/url].
Fashions in dress appear and disappear, but a peculiar one has stayed in fashion for a lot of generations, and shows no sign of fading away. It's thehigh-heeled shoe, which first became a fashion statement in 16th-century France, and it has been part of the modern woman's wardrobe since the mid-19thcentury.
Ask a woman why she endures the awkwardness and discomfort,[url=http://duveticajacketsoutletjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], and she'll probably respond,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケットメンズ[/b][/url], "They cause me to feel look, and feel, more attractive."Newly published researchsuggests this perception is accurate, but perhaps not for that reason you'd expect.
It isn't the artificially increased height that turns heads. Rather, it's how such footwear changes the mechanics of the woman's gait.
"High heels may exaggerate the sex-specific facets of the female walk," a school of Portsmouth research team led by psychologistPaul Morrisreports in the journalEvolution and Human Behavior. While noting that preference in footwear is located in part on culture norms, they argue the enduring popularity of high-heeled shoes suggest their fundamental appeal comes from a deeper impulse.
To test whether walking in high heel shoes increases one's femininity and attractiveness, Morris and the colleagues conducted two experiments utilizing a point-light display. Participants (15 men and 15 women) viewed dotted outlines of 12 women as they walked for any total of four minutes apiece-two minutes in high-heeled shoes, and two minutes wearing flats.
These were then asked to rate how attractive they found the figures,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカ 店舗[/b][/url].
"For all walkers,[url=http://duveticashoponline.webmium.com/][b]デュベチカ 通販[/b][/url], the attractiveness score was higher in the heels condition than in the flat condition,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url]," they report. Both men and women judged the women wearing high heels to be more appealing compared to those who wore flat shoes.
In the second experiment, 120 participants (82 ladies and 38 men) watched exactly the same dotted-outline footage and were asked to evaluate whether each of the models was male or female. (As noted earlier,[url=http://duveticadownjackets.halod.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], all were,[url=http://parajumperslongbear.webmium.com/][b]http://parajumperslongbear.webmium.com/[/b][/url], in fact, women.) While wearing flats, 28 percent of the women were incorrectly classified as men; among those wearing heels,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベチカ専売店[/b][/url], that number went down to 17 percent.
Why? They report that, with high-heeled shoes, the women "walked inside a fashion more characteristic of female gait." Specifically,[url=http://woolrichusaonlineshop.blogspot.com/][b]woolrich usa online shop[/b][/url], "walkers in high heels took smaller, more frequent steps,[url=http://duveticashoponline.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ 大阪[/b][/url]," and this reduction in the length of their stride was combined with "increased rotation and tilt of the hips."
Quite simply,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.gengfl.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], they argue,[url=http://duveticacoats.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], high heel shoes exaggerate the differences in the ways women and men walk, making the wearer appear more feminine. This stimulates "sexual arousal that face men,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenonsalejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url]," as well as increased attentiveness for women who are scoping out potential competitors for male attention.
This can happen on either a conscious or perhaps an unconscious level,[url=http://duveticajacketsonlinejp.halod.com/][b]デュベティカ 店舗[/b][/url], but this evidence suggests the dynamic is real,[url=http://duveticajacketsjp.gengfl.com/][b]ダウンジャケットduvetica[/b][/url], and transcends fashion fads.
Morris and his colleagues conclude that the woman walking in high heels is a "supernormal stimulus" - that is,[url=http://duveticajacketsmenjp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカ ダウンジャケット[/b][/url], an enhanced version of a stimulus found in nature. Previous studies have suggested unhealthy foods can be seen the same way, in that it stimulates our natural craving for sugar,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカアウトレット[/b][/url], salt and fats by offering them in exaggerated concentrations.
So to sum up: High heels possess a lot in common withHo Hos. We might view them with ambivalence or concern,[url=http://duveticajacketssalejp.albirank.net/][b]デュベティカ ダウンジャケット[/b][/url], however in spite of ourselves,[url=http://duveticatrenchcoat.webmium.com/][b]デュベティカ 激安[/b][/url], we're feeling the primal pull they exert. And we aren't likely to break our addiction any time soon.
