This study compared the attractiveness ratings of photographs of whites by 31 male and female Cruzan (indigenous residents of St. Croix, USVI) and American subjects, all residing on St. Croix. Over-all, the 15 women rated photographs significantly higher than the 16 men did and male photographs were rated significantly lower than female photographs. All interactions and the variable of race/culture were nonsignificant. Results are discussed as they relate to Cruzan culture.
