摘要

Background

We respond to the methodological comments raised by Li and Wang regarding our article, “In the Search of the Ideal Moroccan Feminine Beauty: Body Aesthetic Preferences Across Demographics.” Their letter addressed issues related to geographic sampling distribution, the use of hand-drawn anatomical stimuli, and statistical modelling strategies.

Methods

This response clarifies the rationale underlying our original methodological decisions. We explain the proportional stratified sampling approach reflecting real-world demographic clusters, justify the use of hand-rendered anatomical stimuli for controlled morphological isolation, and discuss the appropriateness of chi-square testing for descriptive categorical analysis. Considerations for future methodological enhancements, including region-based weighting models and multilevel statistical frameworks, are outlined.

Results

We demonstrate that the sampling distribution mirrors population accessibility rather than methodological imbalance. The hand-drawn stimuli ensured internal validity by controlling confounding visual variables while preserving anatomical proportionality. The statistical approach was appropriate for the descriptive objectives of the study and supported by adequate sample size thresholds for subgroup comparisons.

Conclusion

The methodological framework of the original study remains statistically and conceptually robust. We acknowledge the value of the suggested refinements and identify directions for future research, including expanded geographic recruitment, multimodal visual stimuli, and advanced multilevel modelling. Continued scientific dialogue will strengthen aesthetic preference research in North Africa.
