Gender Differences in Response to Visual Harmony: Why and When?

Across five studies, we explored how and when gender impacts the attractiveness evaluation of marketing visuals varying in harmony. Consistent with self-referencing theory, female genders prefer harmony in design more than males. However, this effect varies with how gender is defined, how gender is assessed, and with the consumption context.
