Abstract
Preadolescent and adolescent girls, randomly selected from within schools in theSydney Metropolitan Area, carried out a preference and aversion task relating to 8 different female breast types. The aim was to investigate one aspect of stereotyping in female physical attractiveness. Negative stereotypes were more strongly conveyed than positive stereotypes, with a strong aversion expressed for small flat breasts and a lesser aversionfor very large breasts. Within sample differences were observed for age, maturational level and the subject's own body type.
