Conducted two pre-registered experiments with expert and art-naïve Indian and Western participants.
Evaluated aesthetic preferences for Indian and Western paintings and dances focusing on abstract and representational content.
Participants rated stimuli based on beauty and liking.
Ingroup bias was present for dance among art-naïve participants.
Preference for representational art in paintings was generally lower in art experts compared to non-experts.
Modulation of preferences was observed primarily in Western participants.
