面相学是一门从面孔上阅读人的性格特征的艺术，它可以追溯到古希腊，现在仍然很流行。本研究考察了从面孔中阅读特征的过程的几个方面和结果。使用中性表情的面孔，它表明，在面孔中传达的个性信息改变了言语信息的解释。此外，它表明，相貌信息具有一致的影响，并创建过度自信的判断。然而，有人认为，“从面孔阅读”的过程只是硬币的一面，硬币的另一面是“从面孔阅读”。“与后者一致，有关个性的信息会改变对面部特征的感知，从而改变对面部之间相似性的感知。这两个过程和问题的自动性的影响进行了讨论。
Physiognomy, the art of reading personality traits from faces, dates back to ancient Greece, and is still very popular. The present studies examine several aspects and consequences of the process of reading traits from faces. Using faces with neutral expressions, it is demonstrated that personality information conveyed in faces changes the interpretation of verbal information. Moreover, it is shown that physiognomic information has a consistent effect on decisions, and creates overconfidence in judgments. It is argued, however, that the process of "reading from faces" is just one side of the coin, the other side of which is "reading into faces." Consistent with the latter, information about personality changes the perception of facial features and, accordingly, the perceived similarity between faces. The implications of both processes and questions regarding their automaticity are discussed.
