This statement accurately reflects the results of a study on the impact of perceived self-relevance on attractiveness ratings of swimsuit models. The study found that men who believed the sound they were hearing was their own heartbeat, rather than an external sound, consistently rated the photos as more attractive. This suggests that perceived self-relevance or personal relevance can influence subjective judgments of attractiveness.
